Notice its cvs co -l, NOT cvs -l co. cvs is clear as mud, right? If you do cvs -l co, the -l has a completely different (and valid) meaning. Do you have any Tylenol handy? Read the cvs man page, then. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and n3lxx, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 2.2 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
