hey Mr. Mark,

I searched for the above files on my system and to my surprise I did
not find any one of them. The developers are not using any locks means
default is editable as same files have to be edited by the developers
so I using the default settings that comes with the cvs.

The files under CVSROOT of one Repository.

What I want to know is my cvs running properly or there is some

commiting or getting the updates of the files/folders.
