That is an exceedingly bad idea. It's not a question of "old" format versus "new" format -- the RCS file format explicitly requires 2 digits for years 1900 through 1999 and all digits for subsequent years (it does not support years prior to 1900). > My question was about the timestamp of the file itself, not the one within > the file.

CVS doesn't care about the RCS file's timestamp. -Larry Jones That's one of the remarkable things about life. It's never so bad that it can't get worse. -- Calvin _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list Info-cvs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
