Hi!
Further to my previous mail, for the cvs command line you can use the
following command to get the status of the files which have changed.
cvs -n update -P
M File1.dsp
The above tells you that the file name 'File1.dsp' has been locally
modified. Now you can diff it with the previous version on the server
by:
cvs diff -wb -i File1.dsp
And find out what has changed.
Hope this helps.
Gagneet

|
|certainly, there's variations like:
|
| $ cvs log ...
| $ dvs diff ...
| $ cvs co -c
|
|and so on. i think it would be immensely useful for beginners

|

|start.
