Good deal -- that works now. The problem now (with enscript
side-by-side) is that anything with lines ending in ">" (and possibly
others) are treated as changed lines and colorized. This pretty much
makes it useless with html. Oh well, I think I like the CVSweb
side-by-side better anyway -- back to "uc". Just thought you'd like to
know...
Thanks again!
