We're still waiting for Joerg to give us the perl script for going through a directory hierarchy and removing anything that's both a file and not a child of any CVS/ directory. Then you could prep and remove in one operation, assuming that said perl script did one pass before the other for you. I've always wanted this sort of thing, but also make it a habit of ignoring any and all such irrefutable reminders that I really have to learn perl, no matter how much I hate its syntax.. :-) Jordan
