Among them is the option to ignore a particular file from updates. Thus, you can proceed with the CTM deltas as usual, and finally fetch the failing file by FTP (for example). But you're right, CVSup can handle this much more gracefully, but again, that's only possible since it's working online. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
