should show you a list of files that need to be updated. If you are following good VM practises, the only files indicated with a 'U' should be the ones you've locally deleted but have not committed. So, something like this should give you a workable script: cvs -nq up | sed 's/U/cvs tag -d tagname /' > thescript ./thescript On a different note: IIRC you mentioned earlier that these deleted files are not part of the release, but you don't want to remove them from the repository. What harm would there be if those files actually had the tag applied? > As I said, it's not really a big deal, just a small surprise. I know, but I think we're exploring various avenues and options. Frequently, when one complains about a particular problem, that problem can be resolved by changing one's practises. -- Jim Hyslop Senior Software Designer Leitch Technology International Inc.
