Please wrap your lines around 72 chars. I checked my crystal ball but didn't see your supfile or a cut/paste of the error message in it. Since you didn't provide those either, I can only make the wildest of guesses: Looks like you didn't specify a line like: *default release=cvs tag=. -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc.
