i had to reboot after installing TortoiseSVN on my vista machine... i suspect it 
is to get the (what's it called?) menu incorporation stuff in place and to make 
sure the dlls are loaded for that...

one of the things i like, but have not yet used, is the tsvn mime type so as to 
be able to use that in certain apps to pull updates... i've not even dug in far 
enough to find out if it can also be used to upload changes but in at least two 
of the environments i'm working with (w2k and vista) it may be very handy...

of course, i also have linux at hand and am also looking at seeing what i can do 
on OS/2 but i have a (very) old OS/2 to work with so many newer features and 
capabilities don't even exist for me in that environment...

my biggest and main goal is for cross-platform compiling capability... 
especially to be able to develop and compile for the OS/2 environment... so, as 
hinted at in my previous post, i want to find out what is needed to be able to 
add that to the existing wiki instructions... once this is done, then it should 
be easy enough to add instructions for all other cross-platform stuffings... 
and, i should add, that there should be minor alterations needed for other base 
OS installations to do the same for other platforms as well... the "trick" is to 
get it figured out and laid out, first... then documented and posted in an 
easily understandable and findable place ;)
