[h-e-w] Running CVS remotely

[Jeff Rancier]

Hello All,

When visiting a remote file, via ange-ftp, should I expect Version
Control/PCL-CVS to work remotely as well.  On a SCO box, running
PCL-CVS->Directory Status, I get the following:

Repository : :pserver:address@hidden:/usr/local/cvsroot
Module     :
Working dir: /rcssco1:/u/jrancier/proj/clients/sa/src/

Message: cvs.exe [status aborted]: there is no version here; run 'cvs.exe
checkout' first
Message: cvs.exe status: in directory .:

--------------------- Empty ---------------------
-- last cmd: cvs -f status -v --

Can I assume that cvs is trying to run locally?  (cvs.exe)

I'm running GNU Emacs 21.2.1 (i386-msvc-nt5.1.2600) of 2002-03-19 on buffy
(Windows XP).

TIA,
Jeff
