The client software is the Cisco Systems VPN Client. Seems to work a treat (I have one of those code-generator key fobs which I use via a PIN to obtain the password).

Indeed... CVS is Just Done Right. No odd database dependencies, no weird formats, zero data corruption. Want to back up the repository? tar/gzip (or winzip, depending on your platform).

My data's lost? AAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!
Oddly enough, this happened to me recently, after i accidentally left out a check for an empty path in a recursive delete routine. Those lost were small among the ranks of files, but will be missed just the same.

There we go. It's proven once again.
Recursion and delete commands are not meant to be used together.

Well, that's why I used this name in the sig. So I don't need to change it again

One of my most useful, and most dangerous, utilities is aptly named Nuke. Some years ago I added a check so it will no longer operate from the root of a drive. We learn from our mistakes.

My first experience with Nuke was 1 week into this job, when I wiped out the C: drive.

Friend of mine downloaded some file manager having some features like the famous Norton Commander, but was done in Delphi and for Windows(about 10 years ago).
As you probably know, there are two hardwired files in FAT directory structure . (this directory) and .. (move to parent directory)
When he tried to delete some directory, The Bug appears - the file manager deleted (in recursion of course) also the .. file. What were the results, you can imagine easily I guess.
Two years after that incident he met the author of the file manager...
