I recently put binaries for rcs-5.7 and cvs-1.9 on
http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Hills/8328
If I ever start an FAQ it should include
Problem:
CVS gives errors like:
CVS.EXE checkout: Your CVSROOT is set for a remote access method
CVS.EXE checkout: but your CVS executable doesn't support it
CVS.EXE checkout: (c:\cvsroot\reductn)
CVS.EXE [checkout aborted]: Bad CVSROOT
Cause:
The environment variable CVSROOT has a colon ":" in it
For example CVSROOT=c:\cvsroot\reductn
Solution
Remove the colon. For example CVSROOT=\cvsroot\reductn
