check in error

[pad_123]

Hi
A user has reported this error message with CVS after check in.
****************************************************************
During the addition of s11recorddefaults to CVS, it gave the following
error.The file was available on CVS after this operation, inspite of 
it reporting as '[commit aborted]'.

C:\MNI\Mni1\src\cappui\src>cvs add s11recordsettings.c
cvs server: scheduling file `s11recordsettings.c' for addition
cvs server: use 'cvs commit' to add this file
permanently C:\MNI\Mni1\src\cappui\src>cvs commit
s11recordsettings.c
Commit Success
RCS file: /cvsadmin/cvsroot/MNI/src/cappui/src/s11recordsettings.c,v
done
Checking in s11recordsettings.c;
/cvsadmin/cvsroot/MNI/src/cappui/src/s11recordsettings.c,v  <--
s11recordsettings.c
initial revision: 1.1
done
CVS.EXE [commit aborted]: cannot rename file .new.s11recordsettings.c 
to s11recordsettings.c: File exists
**************************************************************
But the file has been checked in;he says he had the file opened in 
another text editor at the time of checking in.I am at a loss to 
explain why it gave that message in the end.Can someone explain why 
it tried to create another file called .new.s11recordingsettings.c?

Thanks ,
Paddy Thomas
