Taking a look at the quasi-standard documentation The history file has no locking - never has - so if multiple processes are writing to it then one or the other will probably lose their data. Some clients may get a 'cannot open history file' error (which is non-fatal) but also it may just silently fail... depends on how the stdio library is implemented really. It's not unique to cvsnt at all... I guess it's never been considered a critical file so nobody's ever worried about it. Tony
