Amarinder Pal Singh, You've already asked how to accomplish reserved edits on Mac and I've already explained in the thread "Problem locking a file". Make sure you have CVSNT client installed (2.5.03.2382 preferably) on the Mac. The way the "exclusive" edit options are usually used is NOT how you are using them. The "free" version of WinCVS does NOT support "reserved edits" - it supports "concurrent edits" and "cooperative edits". If you want to implement reserved edits this is how you do it: Every versioned file in CVSNT has attributes - also called "expansion options". These are "sticky" - they are propogated from one version of the file to the next. So if all your files should always be used in "reserved" mode the "solution" is to mark them as such: cvs update -k+x cvs commit -f "everything will now lock" Now when you checkout, edit etc the client will automatically use the "locking" functions without the need to specify -c or -x on the command line ever again.

I am passing following CVS command "cvs edit -c" through Admin->command line GUI option. Following is the console output (command exit with code 1) cvs edit -c abc.txt (in directory /test) ***** CVS exited normally with code 1 ***** However the same command works fine through WinCVS client. Any suggestions for taking reserve edit on MAC would be greatly appreciated.
