and xfractint are unified. They share identical files. But I am not iooposed to using CVS, it's just another thing to learn, and both Jonathan and I have gotten very good at using diff and patch.
If you're proficient with diff and patch, then you already understand CVS. cvs diff -c produces a context diff that you could feed to patch. When you check in new revisions, a context diff is generated and appended to the version control file. When you do 'cvs update' after someone else has checked in a new version, it patches your local copy of the files.
Manpwin, on the other hand, is a significant fork. I doubt it can be m aintained together with fractint/xfractint, but at some point changes can be merged in either direction. I am interested in what Paul has done with True Color.
I imagine that there's still gobs of code that he hasn't changed. CVS can handle that fork as well. -- Ask me about my upcoming book on Direct3D from Addison-Wesley!
