Thank you Gabriel for your answer. The file is not yet on the repository. I did a 'cvs add myfile' without problems. The problem is that I get that error (see subject) when I do a 'cvs ci -m "message" myfile'. I opened my file in xemacs and realized that it has 605 lines and 396 columns. Yes, it is a *very* wide file, but I can not modify this file. In fact, once I commit this file I will not modify it, as this is a test file. The 232k is just an estimate of the file size, which in my opinion is not too large. An 'ls -lh' command returns the following: -rwxr-xr-x 1 gdelfino wheel 232k Apr 19 10:29 CBN3106_06.deb Regards, Gustavo Delfino Caracas, Venezuela _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
