You need a branch about 190 files ago. :) A sandbox is in many ways a special extra-leightweight branch, and I do use it that way (I have a couple other sandboxes). A real branch would have the advantage of making the code available to other people, but requires more work when merging changes from the trunk, when committing changes to the trunk and it would be more difficult to get a meaningful summary of "what's changed w.r.t. the trunk" which I normally have all the time in my *cvs* buffer. I guess there is something for CVS, Subversion, MetaCVS, Arch, OpenCM, ... to learn here, but I'm not sure what, Stefan
