I should be I guess I made a cvs update while I was editing the file (I had an emacs open on it for several days) still unsaved. So there was no conflict. And then, when I save my edits with emacs, it surely have yelled at me something like (file changed whatever), and I surely disregarded the warning, as most users do and should never do (but users, and I'm an user indeed, tend usually to think that developers spend time to write warning message just for the sake of getting on users nerves). :) -- Mathieu Roy +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | General Homepage: http://yeupou.coleumes.org/ | | Computing Homepage: http://alberich.coleumes.org/ | | Not a native english speaker: | | http://stock.coleumes.org/doc.php?i=/misc-files/flawed-english | +---------------------------------------------------------------------+
