In the CVSROOT/modules file, define your module like so: myproj -o "ln -s bar foo" myproj Hmm, it looks like the program named by -o must be a script (or other program) that takes one argument (the module name). It is not clear if the script will be run before or after the module is checked out... (see man 5 cvs) Another possibility is to define something in the cvswrappers file. I'm not all that familiar with using cvs to do these things, as in the projects I've worked on we used dependencies in makefiles to ensure that links were present. So that is another possibility for you to consider, if you are already using makefiles. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Consider registering as a bone marrow donor http://www.bloodservices.ca/english/ubmdr
