No. When CVS creates a new file in the repository (the very first time you commit), it sets the repository file's execute permissions to match the working file's execute permissions. When you check a file out, CVS copies the execute permissions from the repository file to the working file. So, if it's not working, then either the file wasn't executable the very first time you committed it or there's something wrong with CVS's OS X support. Check the permissions on the repository file -- if it isn't executable, try making it executable and then checking it out. -Larry Jones Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us. -- Calvin _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
