It seems that I can check out the binary files without corruption. I am still not 100% confident on this but since I restored from the backup and started using build 1969 no corruption occurred to the contents of the files. > > - Does anyone have some macro to finds the corupted files repo? > > fgrep is your friend. 10x, I'll look it up and see if I can get anything out of it. > > - Better still is there a macro that fixes the files? > > I don't think so.

Presently I cannot risk using a development release, stable releases are enough of a headache :-P I could not find a timeline for planned releases, is it available somewhere? I need more information on the bug to be able to identify the corrupted RCS files. The bug database issue #26 does not give enough details. > > Greetings from Luxembourg, > Greetings from Malta! -- Kevin Agius
