Re: pvcs problem

Hi Peter,

I am guessing that you are using AnthillOS (based on the mailing 
list...) and if this is the case you can create a small script that 
would take the temp file and rewrite it with the necessary \ and then 
have AnthillOS run that script before the vlog command (for that you 
will need to modify the getRevisions.pgl file for the pvcs adapter). The 
script could be written in anything as long as you can execute the 
script from command line (even VB).

Regards,
Varban
