Subj: 	problems with bdiff in ptos

I have bco'd a file in the ptos pool, made changes, & bci'd the
file again, adding history comments as needed.  However, when I
do a bdiff -r$NEW on the file, it ignores the previous revision
to the file and pretends that my submit was the 1st (ie - the
diff contains the entire file).  This occurs with the following
two Makefiles:

./usr/ccs/lib/libext/Makefile
./usr/shlib/libext/Makefile

Both of these were added in platinum before my changes.  The other
files I am changing do not have this problem with the bdiffs.  Any
idea what's up?

thanks,
- Tom

Tom,

Try it again.  I think I found a problem with the definition of NEW.

Still having the same problem.  However, I noticed that if I specify
the last revision instead of $NEW, I am able to get the bdiff I need.
This will solve my immediate problem, but the real solution still needs
to be found.

If it's a file which has been submitted to a release you can
use the release's submit set name: bdiff -rPTOS

Hi John,

I tried the bdiff again today & it worked.  I think I know why
too.  I did a new workon.  Since you fixed the definition of
$NEW, it would make sense that I would need to do a new workon
in order to get this from the environment.  Sorry for the
confusion, it works fine now.

thanks,
- Tom
