I see. That's a tricky one to overcome. Sometimes, you just gotta bend the rules a little: how important is it, really, for everything to be lower-case? Of course, this is all perfect hind-sight, and doesn't help you in your day-to-day work.
> IMHO, this is a CVS bug, isn't it? Not really. CVS is at the mercy of the underlying operating system. It tries its best when you have two conflicting types of O/S, but sometimes it just cannot resolve the problems. This is one of those times. You have to step in and fix things up for it. > IN THIS SITUATION [given above], if you want to use cvs, you HAVE to > fiddle around with the Entries file [because CVS will not work > otherwise]. Hmmm... well, OK then, if you gotta you gotta ;=) Actually, though, I should think a 'cvs update -P ABC' followed by a 'cvs update -ld abc' should do the trick for you. -- Jim Hyslop Senior Software Designer Leitch Technology International Inc.
