When I say "No", nothing happens (but I wanted to checkin that file!), when I say "Yes" my edits are lost (not a good choice, either). The expected result is that Emacs prompts me for a Change Comment. I spent some hours looking into the problem, but now I'm at a point, where I need some expert advice. -the very same actions run fine on Windows 2000 with 21.3.50.8 and on Redhat Linux Enterprise WS V3, which has Emacs 21.3.1 -all of these Emacs installations have the same version for vc.el (1.311.4.9) and vc-rcs.el (1.21.4.2) -the problem appears to be in Emacs incorrectly getting the modification status vc-workfile-unchanged-p in line 1147 of vc.el -I checked that the problem is not within the init Files (-q --no-site-file) -the only pertinent finding I saw when comparing the different installations was that the output of "rcsdiff --brief" is different, e.g. Tru64 UNIX Files /tmp/T0DYBKaK and a.txt differ RH Linux Files a.txt 2005/01/19 11:05:38 1.1 and a.txt 2005/01/19 11:05:44 differ Windows: Files a.txt 2005/01/19 11:07:15 1.1 and a.txt 2005/01/19 11:07:28 differ Might it be that this different behaviour? Any help greatly appreciated. Regards, Thomas Meyer
