[cvsnt] Problem retrieving doc files

[Bo Berglund]

Raghu,
I don't see any problems.
I just issued a command in my sandbox like this:
cvs update -r 1.28 myprog.exe
(HEAD revision of myprog.exe is 1.30)
and the update just produced a single new file myprog.exe which
replaced the existing one. No other files created at all.
Which is really what I would expect.

/Bo
 (I am now going off-line for a week)

Hi bo,
    I am currently downloading all the latest version softwares. 
Then regarding the command which you have said, was not what I 
want/meant.
The command to RETRIEVE earlier REVISION of a file is also
  update -r #verno filename
(pls note the flag -r ...)

In this case, this command will retrieve the said verno file and 
will put the same in the checkedout folder with name 
filename.#.verno.

I wanted info reg this command to retrieve binary files 
properly.

I know the purpose,content, and situation in which cvs creates 
file like: .#.originalfilename.doc.1.3

Regards,
Raghu.
