I use a .cvsrc file: $ cat .cvsrc cvs -z3 -q diff -uN update -dP This way i just type cvs up and the data is compressed (I use -z3 because some sites don't want higher compression rates because of high CPU usage on the server) and the directories are handled right. Furthermore I always get unified diffs. bye boe -- Juergen Boemmels [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fachbereich Physik Tel: ++49-(0)631-205-2817 Universitaet Kaiserslautern Fax: ++49-(0)631-205-3906 PGP Key fingerprint = 9F 56 54 3D 45 C1 32 6F 23 F6 C7 2F 85 93 DD 47
