Ronald,
Thanks, but sadly no, its CVSNT (1.11.1)
From reading the error messages though I don't think this will work
either. The error seems to be caused by the ':' which used to seperate
the server name and the path to the repository but which is now the
(optional) indicator that what follows is a port number;
:(gserver|kserver|pserver):[[user][:password]@]host[:[port]]/path
I suspect that there is some conflict between unix style paths "/path"
above and the MS-DOS style required to talk to CVSNT (which includes a
':' to seperate drive and directory). Or I could be on completely the
wrong track.
Don't make me install WinCVS ;-)
Regards,
Andy
