But upon co it howls "unexpected end of file RCS/calc.y,v co aborted" leaving me with a small portion of my calc.y file.... What makes me really wonder is the fact that this is totally reproducible on some files only... Next when i try to co an old version trough emacs, it complains:" $1\": -c: line 3: syntax error: unexpected end of file" Please try to focus on that, you mighty gurus out there!
