It's not clear whether you were talking about cvs or CVSup, but in either case that answer is incorrect. If you specify an invalid tag to cvs, it will complain that the tag is invalid and quit. If you specify an invalid tag to CVSup, it will give you no files. John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
