But I wanted to make sure folks realized that the "-R" flag to CVS doesn't make any difference as far as CVSup is concerned. In general, it's best to avoid CVS operations while CVSup is updating the repository. CVSup is careful to update each individual file atomically. But that's not always enough, e.g., if you're trying to do a commit on the client side at the same time. John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
