Why not either use: 1. CVS (free, open source solution) and the command line client, or 2. Perforce (http://www.perforce.com) with it's integrated tools or command line. It's free for up to 2 users, or totally free for open source solutions. You'll never get anywhere 'rolling your own' solution. Jerry Dennany
