Looks like that was the case.

What I was afraid of losing changes by using cvs update.  As part of the 
commit,  I had added a new folder that was not part of the version control.

       cd local\wc5
       cvs add wciocp
       cd wciocp
       cvsadd *.cpp *.h *.dsp *.rc     <--- batch file to add a file spec.

and some how I got into a situation where the wciocp were in the 
"attic"  because of the sticky tag.  It threw me all off.  But I wasn't 
worry about this new folder than I was for existing folders where the 
commit error occurred.

I have it resolved now. 

Thanks for your input Larry.
