But the file continues to > appear as 'modified'. How can I get it to show the status as current? Again, I think you must be using WinCVS. Just do an update on the directory. But your primary problem is that you're storing non-source files in CVS, which is *wrong*. Bad. Unwise. Pretty much any other negative adjective you care to think of. Don't do it, and you'll be happier. Steve _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
