Here is the beginning of the js file:

<<<<<<< binkit.js
// $Id: binkit.js,v 2.26 2019/06/14 21:08:42 rswindell Exp $
// vi: tabstop=4
=======
// $Id: binkit.js,v 2.27 2019/06/17 05:21:19 rswindell Exp $
// vi: tabstop=4

2.27

The copy in my backup looks like this:

// $Id: binkit.js,v 2.26 2019/06/14 21:08:42 rswindell Exp $
// vi: tabstop=4
/*

I think it does not like the less-than & greater-than characters. I tried taking all of them out and leaving this:

// $Id: binkit.js,v 2.27 2019/06/17 05:21:19 rswindell Exp $
// vi: tabstop=4

But apparently the source is full of those characters as it threw the same error for line 25. I saved the previous backup copy over it so hopefully it will work with the sbbs code I pulled today.

Those are merge-conflict markers. Simply deleting the version you have locally and getting again via CVS will fix that.

"cvs update -C" would also work.

Ahh, I have seen those pop up in menu files before too and wondered how
they got there! :)

"cvs update -C" would also work.

So that will cause the new version to overwrite rather than merge?

Thanks!
