Re: Change cvs access mode

[yh]

Thanks Mark. I tried both "cvs watchers filename" and "cvs editors
filename", nothing coming. Then I also did "cvs unedit filename" and "cvs
watch -a remove filename", but the "cvs watch -a remove filename" return
me a "Usage: cvs watch [on|off|add|remove] [-lR] [-a action] [files...]".
Not sure why it does not work, the CVS version is 1.11.2.

Anyway, after "cvs unedit filename" and "cvs watch -a remove filename",
the file remains -r-r-r after checking out and broken my compilation. What
else should I try to fix this problem?

Thank you.

Jim
