I'd like to send you a patch but I can't since cvshome discontinued pserver access. That was the only access method I could get to work. All the other rsh/ssh didn't work. I tried rsh with ucx's rsh and fish but to no avail. I quickly looked at what was necessary to change but it seemed rather complex to me. There is a small chance I sent a patch to this list - search the archives - but probably I didn't as it wasn't quite ready. It certainly has problems with filenames not supported on ODS-2 volumes although I didn't do a proper check on ODS-5. And cvs up always creates new versions, even in [.cvs]. So a lot of purge [...] is required. Michael _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list Info-cvs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
