Easy way to answer this category of questions. Do 'mergemaster -v', then when you get to the prompt for, "*** The following files exist only in the installed ..." hit ^C, then go look at the created temproot directory. If the file is in there, mergemaster will deal with it for you. If it's not there, mergemaster has no knowledge of it. hth, Doug -- Improve the effectiveness of your Internet presence with a domain name makeover! http://SupersetSolutions.com/ Computers are useless.
