Its definitly an old version running on the server. Log in and do "cvs --version". I think it was introduced in 1.11 but i might be wrong. > 2. Is there another way I can do the same thing? delete file before updating. this way you get always a clean copy of your file. rm myfilename.txt cvs update myfilename.txt works fine for me. regards janning > Thanks > > David > > > > _______________________________________________ > Info-cvs mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs -- Planwerk 6 /websolutions Herzogstra�e 86 40215 D�sseldorf fon 0211-6015919 fax 0211-6015917 http://www.planwerk6.de _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
