That's right, except you left out the seconds field. It should be: date=98.03.12.00.00.00 Warning to everybody else: DON'T do this unless your usual supfile already has a "tag" or "date" specification in it. If you don't already have that, then you've been CVSupping the CVS repository, not the checked-out -current tree. In that case, you should use something like "cvs -q upd -D 3/12/98" to revert your tree. If you are uncertain about this, read and reread cvsup(1) until you understand the difference between CVS mode and checkout mode. John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
