If there is, delete that. cool; thanks for verifying that. i wasn't sure whether or not there should be a CVS entry in Entries. i deleted it and hoped for the best. :) btw, i'm sure this is a common problem: is there a way to get cvs to ignore certain filetypes or perhaps individual directories? i'd rather not see stuff like: p@satan% cvs update ? ddd.log there's no reason to add a LaTeX log file in the cvs. OTOH, i'm collecting a lot of these little "temp file", and these question mark lines scroll off a console. i know it's not "broken", but i'm anal enough that it's disconcerting. any way to surpress this kind of stuff based on filename? pete -- Fingerprint: B9F1 6CF3 47C4 7CD8 D33E 70A9 A3B9 1945 67EA 951D _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
