Derek, Thanks for your response. The problem seems to occure when adding files through a microsoft OS running winCVS. I remember reading something about file permissions getting a bit whacky when integrating unix and micrsoft. Do you know if this is true, and are there any tweaking or chmod's I could poosibly do? I don't get this diff failure when I merge and update from a unix os. Secondly does the time date stamp attached in wincvs differ from that on the unix plateform. Could this be a problem having pc's around the office with different times. Again thanks for your help regards peter "Derek R.
