Now this is something that I'm definitely interested in helping with, if at
all possible. Quick question: with your commit, shouldn't there be a message
like the following:
CVS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
CVS: Enter Log. Lines beginning with `CVS:' are removed automatically
CVS:
CVS: Committing in .
CVS:
CVS: Modified Files:
CVS: /some/files/in/abi/pertaining/to/page/numbers
CVS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm just curious because I would like to know what files you modified so that
I can look at your code.
Also, what do you mean that everything is hard-coded? I understand
everything else, and will be trying to help with those issues.
Thanks,
John L. Clark
