Hi Jeff

You can compile just the chemisty section if you have the mainchem.tex, 
defines.tex and chemistry folder. Just latex the mainchem.tex file. If 
you are on Linux you could get the Makefile and do a "make chem".

I have never used tkcvs. You can work on the files without CVS and then 
once you have CVS setup just copy your files over the ones from CVS and 
commit your changes.

I would recommend getting CVS setup first though - there is less danger 
that you diverge drastically from the repository.

About time - it would be nice to keep things ticking over but we do have 
a bit of time. We'd like to have completed and edited all the core 
content by the end of the year. We need a couple of months for editing 
purposes.

What is the problem with CVS? I can look into tkcvs if you let me know 
where you are stuck.

Cheers,

Mark
