Thank you for your reply Larry. I´ve searched google today and found no
match for my question. I think no one except us likes to split up a
modules file into multiple files...;o).

We have a dozen (the number is continuously growing) projects with five
up to ten sub-modules for each project in one repository and the modules
file is getting more and more "unreadable". This is why we like to have
it separated into one file per project. Maybe there are many more
advantages when making this possible which we can´t figure out
yet...(we´re new to cvs..)

I hope someone will think that this is not only "nice to have"...
Unfortunately we´re not able to code this (the cvs-server is available
in sourcecode, right?).

Thanks again for your help.
