Well Tony, i agree that standard commits is friendler but not in our
case when we shoud make changes in all branches at once, because
PowerBuilder scripts are not cleare text files, though are very
similar.

TH> On your last commit don't do '-e'.
Sory I install my version only some days ago but this problem was very
old. So I should test it again. You are right, all ALMOST work.
But look next to last "cvs status" command.

Anyway thank you very much.
