thanks for the answer.

well, the fix it's quite trivial: in the function rtag_fileproc() we've 
made a call to a custom function which handles the exec of the desired 
shell command. The values passed to the function are the rcsfile->path 
and the tag action (nothing for "del", "add" or "mov" in case of a 
forse_tag_move condition).

the problem you're mentioning it's not present, since i'm tagging 10000+ 
files simultaneously without a glitch now.

no answers on the piping problem though. do you know if it has been 
fixed on the new RC or on the cpp development version?

thanks again.
