Sounds like a good idea. Cleaning up past skeletons like these will help new users who choose CVS. Old users like me have always been puzzled by the "P" status as it reveals implementation details that a user shouldn't care about. Larry Jones wrote: Derek R. Price writes: Only semi-gratuito

Mark, It works fine. Just rebuild and tested. I had some problem with [.src]client.c Based on your last e-mail I restored client.c to it's original state, meaning I removed my error handling in both handle_m and handle_e. Result check-out CVS test failed. Error: "cvs: cannot write to stderr
