You don't need a checked out copy of the *file*, you need a checked out copy of the *directory* that contains (or used to contain) it. See the end of: <http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_5.html#SEC62>. I've been reading that part and I've been trying some of the examples, however it couldn't get the files in the Attic restored. The link you gave me to chapter 5 deals with branching and merging and I couldn't see anything that brings back files in the Attic. What can I do to check that my repository is not corrupted, and restoring of repository should be possible? -Albin -Larry Jones Hmph. -- Calvin _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
