Thanks, Joseph! Looking forward to it. As I said, SVN is
very unfriendly as far as I'm concerned, and I've heard that others find it so as well. Last time I tried to use it (about a week ago), it wound up adding about three dozen errors on startup including a couple of assert failures, after which the game would simply crash to desktop without ever even bringing up the caveman/astronaut startup screen. Not sure what was missing, but apparently several things were. Fortunately, I had learned from previous experiences and done as you suggest here, backing up my previously
working copy before messing with anything. Sure makes it easier to revert...
Anyway, thanks for the help/extra effort. You're a prince, man!
