Hi Guys,

We have been trying to get a version of XFree86 that is checked into our Perforce system to compile correctly however it appears that they have a bunch of files on the machine that start with the '@' symbol. The following is the list of files we have found so far:

xc/programs/rstart/commands/@List xc/programs/rstart/commands/x11r6/@List xc/programs/rstart/contexts/@Aliases xc/programs/rstart/contexts/@List xc/programs/rstart/samples/commands/@List xc/programs/rstart/samples/commands/odt1/@List xc/programs/rstart/samples/commands/openwindows2/@List xc/programs/rstart/samples/commands/openwindows3/@List xc/programs/rstart/samples/commands/x11r5/@List xc/programs/rstart/samples/contexts.odt1/@Aliases xc/programs/rstart/samples/contexts.odt1/@List xc/programs/rstart/samples/contexts.sun/@Aliases xc/programs/rstart/samples/contexts.sun/@List

Now the problem is that when I try to check those files into Perorce it doesn't work because it thinks the '@' symbol corresponds to a label!

Does anyone have any idea what we can do about solving this? Or is it not possible to solve this?

Regards,
