Thanks to all who have replied to this thread, it's been
very helpful.
As far as the 'update' thing, it was a misunderstanding
on my part. I had to shed some existing assumptions
about how things work based on previous work with VSS
and Digital's old CMS. I kinda get it now.
As for Tortoise, it does do what I need once I got things
set up properly.
Finally, sorry for the long lines in the email messages.
For this I blame Outlook!
