filename,t and Attic

[Cheryl Tipple]

Hi Larry,
THANKS for the info....

I have another problem I am trying to solve and wanted to make sure the
filename, t caused no problem to it.

In certain directories the good files are going to the Attic and the deleted
files are staying in the directory.  In other words my repository path is now
the Attic only for certain files in certain directories and in some
directories all files now have the Attic in the repository path.  Does anyone
know what I have done to cause this?
Example
Repository revision:1.1.2.3
/path1/CVS/path3/path4/path5/path6/maindir/dir/dir/Attic/filename
should be
/path1/CVS/path3/path4/path5/path6/maindir/dir/dir/filename


I tried checking it out in another area, updating and a few other things.....
Got any ideas on how to solve this one, or even what I must have done to cause
this?

Thanks in advance for any help!!!

Regards,
Cheryl
