Hi, You need to actually remove the files or use the -f option to cvs remove. http://www.cvsnt.org/manual/Removing-files.html <snip> As a convenience you can remove the file and cvs remove it in one step, by specifying the -f option. $ cd test $ cvs remove -f *.c cvs remove: scheduling a.c for removal cvs remove: scheduling b.c for removal cvs remove: use 'cvs commit' to remove these files permanently $ cvs ci -m "Removed unneeded files" cvs commit: Examining . cvs commit: Committing . <snip> Cheers Mikew Siegfried Heintze wrote: > I used the following command: > > C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\cgi-bin>cvs import -C -n -I > EditCaseWorkShafiSieg.pl -I test_component04.mdb -I test_component03.mdb -I > test_component02.mdb -I test_component01.mdb -I test_components02.ldb -m > "initial structure" CONVEX/cgi-bin vendor-tag start > > I misspelled test_component*, damn!
