svn is the better alternative probably, i agree.

Both are commandline fetching tools, just paste em the url and they will happily fetch it. They can even fetch whole websites so better read the manpages first before you actually implement using them. Martin -- Martin Hauser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GPG-Encrypted mail preferred, KEY: 0D459A72
