Fred, Look at the "C" update output code details in the manual at
http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_16.html#SEC152 which states "an unmodified copy of your file is also in your working directory, with the name `.#file.revision' where revision is the revision that your modified file started from. (Note that some systems automatically purge files that begin with `.#' if they have not been accessed for a few days. If you intend to keep a copy of your original file, it is a very good idea to rename it.)" cd to your work area ls -la (and you should see the .#file.revision file) mv ".#file.revision" file (to overlay your modified file prior to the update) Note that the double quotes are needed because of the ".#" name prefix.
