Unlike printf, scanf uses the *field width*, not the precision, to specify the maximum number of characters to read. The correct code is: if (sscanf (info->data, "%15s %lu", > vendor notification: nope. Thanks a heap. For what it's worth, that problem only occurs in the CVS PreservePermissions code which is notoriously buggy, to the point where it has been disabled in recent releases to keep people who don't know any better from using it. Nonetheless, it is fixed in the recently released CVS 1.11.2. -Larry Jones I must have been delirious from having so much fun. -- Calvin
