[work on files with version control > in more than one location] Anyone got a good solution? I use CVS and ssh to connect to the repository. But it seems you don't have an internet connection from home, so this is not a good choice. But maybe your problem is that while working at home you'd like to store several versions? That can be done with the new, nifty, changing backends feature of VC. When working on a file in a CVS working directory, you can do C-x v b to switch to the RCS backend. Then you can store several versions at home. But when you switch back to CVS as the backend, there is no easy way to upload all those RCS revisions in one go. When you do a CVS checkin, just the most recent version is uploaded so that the CVS repository doesn't know about the intermediate versions. Another possibility is to make sure that the RCS files are always unlocked, by doing "ci -u" on them before putting them on the floppy. Yet _another_ possibility is to store the CVS repository on the floppy, too. And then, you can do "rcs -U" on the files; maybe that helps. kai -- ~/.signature is: umop ap!sdn (Frank Nobis)
