IIRC, there was a period where I'd removed the metatilities dependence from LIFT and forgotten to include a copy of copy-file... but that was a while ago.

I've updated the website and repository now and all should be well (please let me know if that's not the case and _thanks_ for noticing the problem). On the topic of general equality (how similar is _enough_!), I've got a few ideas but nothing too deep or profound. I did get git working and I'll try to look over the code you have sometime next week. On Nov 23, 2007, at 1:12 AM, A.J.
