Hello What I report has been tested with xemacs-21.4.19 mule and non mule, starting xemacs -vanilla. - step 1: I create a new simple text file, 'test2.txt' write a line, load vc and register the file. - co -p1 test.txt, gives me test2.txt,v --> standard output revision 1.1 this is the first line - I add a line, checkin either via vc-toggle-read-only or via the menu. - co -p2 test.txt, gives me test2.txt,v --> standard output co: test2.txt,v: revision 2 absent And I think this is the origin of all problems. The ,v file is not generated correctly hence later I cannot visit earlier versions since the do not exit. I attach test2.txt and test2.txt,v Any help is strongly appreciated Uwe Brauer this is the first line this is the second line. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
