It is not "confusing" CVS, CVS is simply doing its job: key word expansion. We use this for the documentation, for example. >Anybody have a suggested workaround?

In this case, you explicitly don't want keyword expansion to happen, hence you have to tell CVS so. For this there is the "-k FLAG" switch. For binaries (like pictures etc.), you'd say cvs add -kb foo.jpg bar.tiff For text files which simply should not be keyword expanded, you use: cvs add -ko afile.txt If you have to change a file after you already added it, use the cvs admin command: cvs admin -ko somefile HTH, Max -- ----------------------------------------------- Max Horn Software Developer email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> phone: (+49) 6151-494890 _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
