You have also an option to jump out from stone age and start using modern tools ;). Maybe checking http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/CvsConcepts and/or http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/CvsCommands IIRC you mentioned many moons ago that you manage your personal files using RCS (or it was somebody else, but I have strong feeling....) If continuing with this issue with a little off topic issue, in last few days I've been reading http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ on a N770 (nokia internet tablet) while sitting in a bus. That has been very good read even after almost 2 years of subvesion usage (if I just have read that when I was novice SVN user...). Currently at work I'm committing to a subversion repository and then syncing that to a CVS one. Even I have to do that step I'd rather do so that try to manage changes on CVS alone. I'd recommend either one of these mentioned "SCM" tools over CVS any time; there is so much less pain involved... You're probably not convinced but at least I tried :D Tomi
