A while back, someone (I forget who) suggested that I simply try the 
software out to see what would happen when the 4 digits run out for 
numbering the cvs-cur deltas.  Well, I am happy to report that the 
programs seem to seemlessly switch to 5 digits.  You should see this 
happen with cvs-cur sometime at the end of this year.  The change should 
be largely transparent.  (If a problem should later arise, I will deal 
with it then, probably by restarting at 100.)

Best, Stephen
