CVSup hasn't had this 'problem' in a long time, if ever. John would know more, but for as long as I can remember, it knows to 'move' files into the Attic instead of deleting/re-transmitting them. > Perhaps the > "problem" is that such movement should not occur in the first place. CVS requires that for deletion of files off the main branch. Nate
