I then checked out this module and deleted all the files, except the cvs directories and their contents. I copied over the 3.8 files into my working directory. I was hoping that WinCVS would then show me what files had been deleted and what files had been changed. I guess it would also show me which files were new. Unfortunately WinCVS pretty much showed all files as having been modified. When I diff'd some of the files they showed no difference. I noticed that for the files that were not actually changed (but showed as changed in WinCVS) after running cvs status on that file from a command window the file would no longer be shown as modified in WinCVS. By the way, the cvs status command showed the file as up to date. I realize this is not a WinCVS support newsgroup, but if anyone knows why this is happening and a way around it I would appreciate it. Snippet from cvs\Entries from one directory below: /main.cpp/1.1/Wed Aug 16 16:24:47 2006// /version.rc/1.1/Wed Aug 16 16:24:47 2006// D/EOMBusiness.LIB//// D/Performance//// /TibMessageParser.h/1.1/Tue Aug 15 19:26:29 2006// /TibMessageParser.cpp/1.1/Tue Aug 15 19:26:29 2006// The two files at the end are the ones I ran cvs status on. Before running status I'm sure they had Aug 16 as opposed to Aug 15. When dir'ing the directory the dates on the files are Aug 15. Though when viewing properties of the files I see that the modified date is the 15th, but the created date is the 16th (which in itself seems a bit odd). Do I just need to set the created date equal to the modified date? Thanks, Nick
