I upgraded our version of 1.3.10 to 1.3.11. Now I have an empty page instead of the main page. Since we modified the original MW code heavily, I made changes manually but double checked it later (if you know an easier way of doing this, please let me know). Here's a piece from the log:

Do you still have your original files?
If so, check it into a source code repository, then check the new version in on top of it. Then you can get diffs to help you figure out your changes.
CVS is a free download. RCS is simpler to install and use.

While everyone maintaining non-trivial code trees should probably be using some source control system, that's not necessary to get diffs. You can simply use the standard Unix 'diff' tool.

This is true. But an SCMS also does a lot of other stuff for you, like automagic merges, version numbering, and branch tracking. (Not that anyone should ever do automatic merging without looking at the changes first... :-)

I do use CVS but never have time to invest to learn all uses of it. If I have to, I will learn how to back up an earlier version. On the other hand, it's a shame that we don't have a simpler and usable front-end to CVS (or a completely new versioning system). I used WinCVS before and not very satisfied with it and prefer doing editing on our linux box.
I'm not a MS person and have a lot of Unix experience but I would still prefer using Sourcesafe over CVS (however much it sucks, it's much easier to use). For example, I don't want to look up a version number to get a diff in CVS, I would much prefer to point and click in this situation. Getting a diff and understanding it shouldn't be so overwhelming. The output of diff on *nixes is still cryptic for me and so I usually do it on my windows using a side by side diff tool.
Well, having said that I still don't know why my 1.3.11 doesn't work. I will back up some changes one by one today and see where it gets stuck.
Thanks for listening :)

WinCVS sucks. You really should try TortoiseCVS for if you're using CVS from a Windows-box: http://www.tortoisecvs.org/

Have you tried using Subversion (SVN)? In ways, it's much similar to CVS, there are just some things that are different. I generally prefer SVN over CVS, although I do find CVS suitable for some things. Subversion: http://subversion.tigris.org/ There's also a TortoiseCVS-'clone' for SVN, TortoiseSVN: http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/
<zap> - Freso, who somehow became a Tortoise?V?-promoter? o.O Oh well. Turtles are always fun! =)
