Thanks Mike I did find it after some poking around - Sometimes I just get in
a hurry..;-)

BTW.  The 1.0.5 and 1.1 versions are being tested ( by me ) and I am very
pleased and learning much about the config files. Really nice progress...
I'll most likely have enough testing done and a paper written to convince my
client to promote ViewVC to the Production environment.

Have no doubt I am giving you credit where credit is due.  Great job !!
