Re: con.bin.svn-base not creatable (Windows bug)

Hello,

     Thanks for the hint but I have found the problem. The student
has a "con.bin" file in his repository and Windows doesn't like the
files starting by con.* ... It's seems that is a Windows "feature".

Thanks again and sorry for the false alert...
Nicolas
