I hear you. I have fixed my script in this regard and added a comment about it should I forget it. > >> Also, I still have many CVS directories in the subdirectories. > > Only in etc/ and leim/.

And info as well, anyway, what I wanted to do was not to nitpick but ask you if you know of a clever way I can remove these directories from inside my script? It's a bash script run under cygwin bash. I'm not really a unix person, so I don't know what I'm talking about here, but maybe something involving find and rm? If I can get rid of my standalone application for removing these directories and incorporate its functionality in my cvs build script, that would be nice. > >> I also >> noticed two empty top-level directories named lock and data, >> respectively.

I will leave them untouched for now, but if they are not needed it would be nice if they were not created, of course. You're a great asset, Eli! Thanks! - Eric
