No. See the space after DONOHUE_USERS: ? That marks the root of the mapped drive. The remainder of the line is the current default path on the mapped drive. In this case, K:\ coincides with DONOHUE_USERS:\ . >> Looking afterward, I see that a loginfo file was created and contains data. > > Does that mean that ci actually succeeded, but somehow printed a bogus > message and exited with an error status? My interpretation is that 'cvs init' succeeded in creating loginfo (and the chain of directories to contain it), but when it exec'ed ci, ci failed to create loginfo,v from it. This is why I suspected that the ',v' suffix might be the issue. > How about DJGPP programs--do they support long file names on drive K:? > Can you use e.g. `ls' from Fileutils, or compile a simple DJGPP > program and tell if they see long names? I was able to 'cat > abcdefghijklmno.pqrstuvwxyz' and I got the filename that I specified. ls saw it just fine, and 'cat abcdefghijklmno.pqrstuvwxyz' showed me the text that I had typed in. I will look into setting up a debug version of ci. I may be able to find some other tools to have a look at what is going on. Thanks again for your help! -- Mark H.
