[Gas] Gas and Des.pm

[Zachary C. Miller]

You've already got write access to CVS on cvs.chambana.net
(imsahp.cu.groogroo.com, my server). 

cvs -d ":ext:brandon at cvs.chambana.net:/var/cvs" checkout gas

Yah, I guess it wasn't a "major" rewrite. In my head I was thinking
"well if I'm going to rewrite this anyway, I'd like to overhaul the
entire way that this links into the rest of the application. 

Thanks for the update.
