I created a file on a branch, made numerous changes, and ulitimately removed it from the branch. The file, of course, now exists only in the attic. I now need to look at how I did something in that source module. How do I checkout or gain access to a file that only exists in the attic? I know that CVS sees the file since a 'cvs co <file>' will tell me it is no loner pertinent. A 'cvs log' will show me the complete commit log. But how do I get the damned source?? TIA! ...Jake
cvs checkout -p -r[last revision before remove] [filename] > [tempfile] This will checkout to standard out and redirect to tempfile. e.g. cvs checkout -p -r1.2.4.6 invisiblefile.java > visiblefile.java Hope this helps, Mike
