Yes and no. You can have read-only *directories* in the repository by setting the permissions to allow reading but not writing, but you can't have both read-only and writable files in a single directory. Update never loses local changes unless the user specifically requests it -- by default, it merges repository changes with the local changes and reports any resulting conflicts. -Larry Jones Well of course the zipper's going to get stuck if everyone stands around WATCHING me! -- Calvin _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
