    I've just created a new module.  but tkcvs keeps telling me:

    Error in startup script: can't read "Filelist(.tnatr:status)": no such element in array
        while executing
    "gen_log:log D "Newitem $f status $Filelist($f:status)""
        (procedure "DirCanvas:newitem" line 9)
        invoked from within
    "DirCanvas:newitem .main $j"
        (procedure "directory_list" line 140)
        invoked from within
    "directory_list $filelist"
        (procedure "setup_dir" line 51)
        invoked from within
    "setup_dir"
        (procedure "change_dir" line 7)
        invoked from within
    "change_dir "[pwd]""
        (procedure "workdir_setup" line 168)
        invoked from within
    "workdir_setup"
        invoked from within
    "if {$cvscfg(startwindow) == "module"} {
      wm withdraw .
      modbrowse_run $cvscfg(cvsroot)
    } else {
      workdir_setup
    }"
        (file "/usr/local/bin/tkcvs" line 235)

    However, checing in, out, etc works fine from cvs.

    Please HELP!
    Thanks,
    Matt Boman

      Hi Matt :-)

      You have a file called .tnatr in the directory, yes?  What does cvs say when you do "cvs status .tnatr" from the command line?

      Hi Dorothy!! 

      This is it:
      cvs status: nothing known about .tnatr
      ===================================================================
      File: no file .tnatr            Status: Unknown

         Working revision:    No entry for .tnatr
         Repository revision: No revision control file

      Thanks!

      I have the file: .tnatr:fnmap in the directory.  Is this the file I'm supposed to have?

        Ah, that's the filename-with-colons bug.  Good gawd, are you still using the pre-7.0 version I left on the system when those lamers downsized me? ;-)  According to the log, that bug was fixed before the "real" 7.0 release.  So just get the latest and the problem will go away.  Don't miss 7.1 when it comes out, though.  There are great improvements in the works, especially the branch browser.

          Hehe... Yes, that is the version we're still using...

          I just installed the new version 7.0.3.  It workes, but it shows me the file name .tnatr:status, is that normal?

          anyway, it works now.  thank you!!

          btw: the company change will make us a bit more stable, as soon as we pass this initial hurdle...

      Matt,

      What is the correct file name, according to unix?  I thought the problem was that the filename had a colon in it, which was confusing my array index.  Those .tnatr: files are some kind of cross-platform filesystem thingie, aren't they?
