Releasing individual files instead of whole directories

[Ewan Leith]

One the cvs website, at the page
http://www.cvshome.org/docs/cvsmanaging.html there is a section on releasing
files:

        "The command to release a file or directory is: 
        cvs rel filename (or /directory_name)"

However, on our system, trying to release a file instead of a directory
produces this error:

        "cvs release msoft
        cvs release: no such directory: msoft"

Releasing directories works fine, as does comitting/updating individual
files and directories.

Anyone know if this is a bug in the software, an incorrect webpage, or just
me doing something wrong?

We're using cvs v1.11.1p.

Thanks in advance,
