Just a note on cvs remove...

cvs remove is very particular, it doesn't let you use wildcards, I think
trying to avoid mistakes of horrible consequence. So, to remove a file
from cvs, you must first delete the file using the rm command, and then
do the cvs remove. So you must remember the file name. If you try and
do cvs remove *, it will not be happy.

This can make deleting a large number of  files rather tedious, because
first you must delete all the files, and  then remember their names to
use in the remove command.

What I typically do is create a very simple csh script that does the
remove for me. Before I delete the files I do an ls command to get the
file names (via a cut and paste operation), and then I put them into a
csh script like this...

===============================
#!/bin/csh

foreach file (test1.pl data3.pl test2.pl data4.pl )
        cvs remove $file
end
===============================

Then I run the script and it does my cvs remove for me. Maybe there is a
better way to do this, but if there is, I haven't figured it out!

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Ted
