Subj: 	can't undo/obsolete checked out files

I have a bunch of files in an old sandbox which I'd like to undo/obsolete all 
the work I've done with them but I get this type of error:

%bcs -o -u kn7aa.c
Confirm outdate for '-oMark_Bozen_tlaser_errh' (all revisions)  [no]  yes

[ ./kernel/arch/alpha/hal/kn7aa.c ]
rcs error: no lock set on revision 1.1.27.2

 I have resb'ed this sandbox a couple of times to different Gold baselevels
and have also built a new sandbox backed to goldminos.nightly where I have
checked out the same files. Can I obsolete files in Sandbox A even if I have
built Sandbox B and checked out the same files?
                                                                   thanks,
                                                                     Mark

Mark,

Try typing just "bcs -o kn7aa.c"

The -u switch is for the case that you have the file checked out.  In this
case, you got a file which is checked-in, and thus in an unlocked state.


>>Can I obsolete files in Sandbox A even if I have
>>built Sandbox B and checked out the same files?

Yes.  Because each check-out in each sandbox starts a separate private 
branch of the file; independent of any other branches.
