That's not what I see. When I look at a file in blame that only I have
changed I still get the colouring even though the author for all revisions
is the same.
There's also the point that you don't need to show the author to use it for
colouring...

That too, but I also use blame for tracking down a history of changes to the
file - how did this code get to this point. It's not only useful for finding
targets :-)

I think I got a little confused then - I presume it's TSVN itself that won't
build with the toolkit and sdk?
I have the vc++ toolkit but the firewall blocks the sdk for some reason I
can't fathom.

Sounds like it to me!
Having said that I agree with Amir's comment - the API is very powerful,
I've had to use it from VBA to hack a lot of stuff together as I don't have
a full copy of VB. It would be more convenient to have VB but VBA can be
made to do virtually everything using API calls and it's not that hard, just
slow. I can't create .exe or .dll though :-(
