I mean Shared files as per SourceSafe when I mention linked files. The reason we used shared files is to minimise the bug fixes required. We have about ~90 shared files which are exact copies of each other. >From Bo Berglund's very usefull information about how CVS works on the Client & Server ends I would assume that I could use Linux/Unix soft links. So from that I concluded that the CVSROOT\modules file can only be used to share files into a folder under another. Arthur Barrett raises a good point that I hadn't thought of about the lock server not knowing that the files are shared & would allow simulaneous writes to both versions at exactly the same time. Unfortunatly in my example the WEB & RAA projects need similar base functionality but do completely different tasks. Cheers, Brian
