I never had problems with the DST bug and red files in WinCVS. Repository and Sandbox are both on local NTFS partitions of the systems. No SAMBA involved! I have a copy of Cygwin installed on the client PC, but configured the PATH to have the Cygwin binaries at the end. And the above printed cvs version output shows that I use CVSNT. I can repeat: cvs version Client: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.0.41a (client/server) Server: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.0.41 (client/server) cvs checkout -P -d cvstest test/cvstest (in directory D:\CVSWORK) cvs server: Updating cvstest U cvstest/Branchfile.txt U cvstest/File.txt U cvstest/Mergepoint.txt U cvstest/Testfile.txt U cvstest/test.txt cvs server: Updating cvstest/subdir U cvstest/subdir/subfile.txt cvs release -d cvstest (in directory D:\CVSWORK\) Question: Modified files You have [6] altered files in this repository. Are you sure you want to release (and delete) directory `cvstest': Enter: Yes/No As you see all 6 files are shown as modified by cvs release. WinCVS shows all in white like normal... But this is really a minor problem - thanks for all your great work! O. Koltermann
