Hi Larry, Thank you very much for your help! It works. To summarize here are the commands I've executed to restore a dead version in the Attic.
boc01% pwd /home/c62ip74/APRT boc01% /usr/local/bin/cvs -d /opt/prodcvs checkout -d /home/c62ip74/APRT eai/APRT cvs checkout: Updating /home/c62ip74/APRT boc01% boc01% /usr/local/bin/cvs update -j 1.2 -j 1.1 EA_APRT_LOAD.esql U EA_APRT_LOAD.esql boc01% /usr/local/bin/cvs commit -m "An restored dead version" cvs commit: Examining . cvs commit: warning: expected /opt/prodcvs/eai/APRT/EA_APRT_LOAD.esql,v to be in Attic Checking in EA_APRT_LOAD.esql; /opt/prodcvs/eai/APRT/EA_APRT_LOAD.esql,v <-- EA_APRT_LOAD.esql new revision: 1.3; previous revision: 1.2 I do see the new version from the CVS GUI now. Again, thank you very much for your time and your valuable advice on this.

So, you want: /usr/local/bin/cvs update -j 1.2 -j 1.1 EA_APRT_LOAD.esql (There's no need for the -d, CVS remembers it from the checkout.) -- Larry Jones Apparently I was misinformed. -- Calvin CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This E-Mail is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is privileged, confidential and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
