Post the output from cvs -t -t -t update (at least the last 20 or so lines before the error), and I'll see if I can work out where it's failing. > > I'm getting the message. :( If you want to risk it (provided I can find out what the memory error is) then go ahead.. I'm just saying I don't recommend it... With the timestamps I found that something like: notepad foo.txt cvs commit foo.txt ..didn't commit the file. If you then wait 3-4 seconds then redo the cvs commit foo.txt .. it commits normally. It looks like the file operations are batched in some way (or at least the timestamp is, which is what CVS uses to work out what to commit). That doesn't mean you'll definately lose data, but: notepad foo.txt cvs update foo.txt ..would do so, if cvs didn't know that you'd changed the file while it would updating. Tony
