Then delete the subfolders named CVS that existy in each sandbox folder. Now your local files are no longer a CVS sandbox, just ordiary folders with sourcefiles inside... This is a procedure that is OK to do in two circumstances: 1) With the files committed you can even delete the whole sandbox if you like. All can be resurrected from the server at a later time. 2) The CVS server has disapperared altogether. In this case it makes no sense keeping the sandbox state any longer. This is what you have. /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
