It can be done via a nightly cron job. > The old sccs_id? That's broken too, because the thing expands out while you have the file checked out. What you have to do is have something like this: /* sccs_id="bozo.c 1.00.5.6 2/8/1998 (this put in by cron process) */ static const char * sccs_id="%W% %G% etc."; The line above the sccs_id is expanded out as a comment by cron, so the version the file has when you opened it is still apparant. >-- End of excerpt from H.J.
