I'm assuming your using a binary DJGPP distribution of CVS. Could you send me - The version of cvs you're using If it's 1.10, try getting the binary distrib again; during the 2.03 update frenzy, my updated distrib was clobbered by a broken version, and you may have such a broken version. If it's not 1.10 (i.e. 1.9 or earlier), try upgrading to 1.10. - The exact output 'cvs init' gives - The contents of your environment (maybe you have LFN=n?) - The contents of the directory you're using as CVSROOT. - Anything else you think is relevant. If nothing else works, I can send you an executable for cvs 1.11; this no longer supports DOS-style paths as CVSROOT though, so you'd have to use /dev/c/work instead of c:/work. -- Tim Van Holder - Falcon Software NV =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Fight spam - go to http://www.politik-digital.de/spam/
