I have a sandbox backed by GOLDMINX.BL3.  I BCO a file
and make changes.  When I BUILD, I get GOLDMINX.BL3 plus
my changes.  When I BCI, I assume that I still get BL3
plus my changes.  When I BSUBMIT, I lose the file as
well as the changes.  Is there some way of being backed
by a stable area, yet still getting my checked-in changes?

What do you mean by lose your changes when you bsubmit? The file
goes into the submit tree and out of your sandbox?

If you'd like to reatain the submitted copy in your sandbox, there are
two options:

- use the -noauto_out flag on bsubmit. This will not only leave the
copy in your sandbox, but also your private branch in RCS. The danger
here is that by not outdating your private branch (removing it from RCS)
you may run into merge/bsubmit problems if you work on the same file
at a later time.

- submit the file, then recheck it out unlocked

bco -u -r$NEW filename

I just wanted to amplify on Grant's message...

The circumstances under which -noauto_out is the appropriate thing
is fairly rare: it's sometimes the best way to do dual submits.
For the more usual situation, where you're continuing to do work
on the file after the submit or you're continuing to do work in
the sandbox and want the prior changes to be effective, the bco -u
solution is better.  I even think it would be a good idea if a -u
flag were added to bci and bsubmit that would have this effect by
analogy with the -l flag to bci.
