Hi,

I tried it, it doesn't work either, I get the message:
cvs [checkout aborted]: CVSROOT \\z\iil\iswp\data\apt\ISIS\repository must
be an absolute pathname

How should I specify an absolute pathname that is accessible from my Windows
2000 as z:\iil\iswp\data\apt\ISIS\repository? Is it possible that it's a bug
in version 1.10.8 and that newer versions of CVS do not have this problem?
(Let me remind you that the original command-line worked on version 1.10.7.)

My guess would be that the colon in the pathname is being interpreted as a
field
separator.  Try the following:

cvs -d :local:\\z\iil\iswp\data\apt\ISIS\repository get trycvs

<<< Cut some parts >>>

No, it's not.  There are some parts of CVS that insist on forward
slashes (/) instead of backward slashes (\) and this is one of them.  I
understand that this is inconvenient for Windows users, but I urge you
to get used to using forward slashes with CVS or you'll have no end of
strange problems.
