Hi,
Thanks for the help guys,
But, I still have a problem.
I checkout a file using
'cvs co project\projecta'
I can then view and edit the file in my working directory no problem.
(I'm using ms *.doc files, and I've added them using -kb)
Now, if I want to take a look at a previous revision of the same file, I go
to where the file is stored in my working directory and perform the
following command:
'cvs update -r 1.1 op2.doc'
this commad executes with no problems:
---
C:\working\op2>cvs update -r 1.1 op2.doc
U op2.doc
C:\working\op2>
---
But when I go to view the file, MS word cannot open it. It complains and
asks to make sure that the file has the correct extension....I checked and
it does!
What can do to fix this?....Is is a MS word problem or my CVS commands?
Thanks again for any help
Peter
