Are you saying:
* you want the val-tags list kept up to date, or 
* you are running some CVS command that seems to fail if val-tags is not
up to date

If the second then please send to the list (and cc me or tony):
* the full CVS command
* the CVSROOT (eg: :pserver:user at host.com:/reponame
* a trace "cvs -ttt ..." (enable server side tracing if possible)
* if possible a copy of the RCS file

Preferably use the latest 2.5.03 testing release.

Regards,


Arthur Barrett
