1. CVSup

   I haven't been able to CVSup in a bit... I keep getting
   
   runtime error:
   	Attempt to dereference NIL
   	file "../src/text/Text.m3", line 58
   
   Anyone have any ideas?  This has been happening since January and
   intermittently before since the beginning of November (IIRC).
   
   I've been downloading the source by FTP but I miss this...
   
   G'day, eh? :)

   	Have you tried removing the ../src/text directory?  What version
   of CVSup?  Operating system?

   Thanks - I always forget OS...
   
   I don't HAVE a ../src/text directory - it looks like an error in the
   binary... BUT - I've figured it out.. *grin*

   *heh* - well, it WAS intermittent.  Thought it was lack of drivespace
   actually - because it would start working (before) if I freed up some
   space.
   
   But lately it hasn't worked at all:
   
   System:
   	Linux; glibc-2.0  (redhat-type system)
   Fix:
   	Download static version of cvsup
   
   Likely bug:
   	Too old CVSup.  Prolly last summer-ish.  whoops.
   
   Sorry about the false alarm, folks.
   
   G'day, eh? :)
