Re: Getting error when trying to use RCS

[Dan Ash]

Sorry been busy,

If I run the command you show below I get the following error:

C:\users\Daniel\Programs\RunLog>ci
c:/users/Daniel/Programs/RunLog/RunLog.java -i -u1.1 -t-
c:/users/Daniel/Programs/RunLog/RCS/RunLog.java  <--
c:/users/Daniel/Programs/RunLog/RunLog.java
ci: invalid identifier `Daniel'
ci aborted

I can get around that error by specifing the user with the -w option:
as show next:

C:\users\Daniel\Programs\RunLog>ci -wDan
c:/users/Daniel/Programs/RunLog/RunLog .java -i -u1.1 -t-
c:/users/Daniel/Programs/RunLog/RCS/RunLog.java  <--
c:/users/Daniel/Programs/RunLog/RunLog.java
enter description, terminated with single '.' or end of file:
NOTE: This is NOT the log message!
>> initial file.
>> .
initial revision: 1.1
done
ci: -i option is ignored after pathnames
ci: -u1.1 option is ignored after pathnames
ci: -t- option is ignored after pathnames

I can then co the file:

C:\users\Daniel\Programs\RunLog>co -wDan RunLog.java
RCS/RunLog.java  -->  RunLog.java
revision 1.1
done

but when I try to check it back in I get the following error:

C:\users\Daniel\Programs\RunLog>ci -wDan RunLog.java
RCS/RunLog.java  <--  RunLog.java
ci: invalid identifier `Daniel'
ci aborted

Even if I try to check it in when all teh options you suggest I get
the same error:

C:\users\Daniel\Programs\RunLog>ci -wDan
c:/users/Daniel/Programs/RunLog/RunLog.java -i -u1.1 -t-
c:/users/Daniel/Programs/RunLog/RCS/RunLog.java  <--
c:/users/Daniel/Programs/RunLog/RunLog.java
ci: invalid identifier `Daniel'
ci aborted

Thanks for any and all help

Dan
