What does someone claim is an error? Bob made a (small) code change, and described it in the CVS log, but didn't add a ChangeLog entry. I asked him to make a ChangeLog entry, and gave my opinion that CVS log entries are not sufficient for bug-tracking purposes (for any code change). From his reply, I gather than the documentation contradicts this position. -Miles -- Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.
