<HTML> If the interface is consistent with UNIX RCS you have to provide the lock parameter to make the file editable. <P>A normal co - command gives you the latest copy. <P>To retrieve the latest version and make it editable give: co -l <filename> <P>Regards, <BR>-- Henk van den Bor-- <P>Paul Kinnucan wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE>Paul Groves wrote: <BR>> <BR>> Has anyone tried using the Windows NT\95 port of GNU RCS? <BR>> <A HREF="ftp://ftp.leo.org/pub/comp/os/os2/leo/devtools/gnu/rcs57pc1.zip">ftp://ftp.leo.org/pub/comp/os/os2/leo/devtools/gnu/rcs57pc1.zip</A> <BR>> <BR>> First problem I have is that when I checkout (co) a file, it is <BR>> write-protected - is this meant to happen?
