I'm having trouble with cvs -- well, actually I think the trouble is with rcs. 
I'm trying to initialize a repository.  My workstation is running Windows 95. 
The repository is to be on a Netware 4.11 server.  LONG namespace is installed
on the server volume.

When I try "cvs -d /me/cvs init", I'm rewarded with:

ci: loginfo,v: No such device (ENODEV)
cvs.exe [init aborted]: failed to check in /me/cvs/CVSROOT/loginfo

I tried setting RCSINIT to "-x" but I still get the ",v" (which might or might
not be the problem -- I can COPY CON "foo,v" and I get exactly the filename I
specified without complaints).

rcs is 5.7.1.3 from the DJGPP v2gnu collection.  cvs is 1.9 from the same
place.  I've checked to make sure that I set 'em up as specified.

Please help me catch a clue.
