Since these 6 packages are interrelated and already have a common name, 
please only register one project with this name. It is much easier for 
you to manage releases and bug tracking from a single project interface, 
and everything is provided to subdivide it in logical parts.

If you give an URL to a full CVS tarball (with its RCS files), we can 
install it directly on Savannah so you won't lose your work history. You 
should provide this information from the registration form.

Savannah can host web pages for you, it has a CVS facility for that. 
Simply import your HTML document tree into the proper module, and it 
will be served at http://www.gnu.org/software/polyxmass/. It's fully 
documented.
