Arthur, thanks for the hint.
We are fixed to SuSE/Novell distributions at the server as well as at the clients. I.e. we have CVS (not CVSNT) and cannot install a patched server. Maybe I can escalate the problem and get it thru. Is there a way to get a script running in update/checkout? The program options in the moudles file work only, if a module is checked out, but not for an update, when single (modified) files are fetched from the repository. Regards Joachim Am Donnerstag, 8.
