Hi,
 
I have a couple of beginner questions:
 
1) Should CVS user variables be recognized and expanded in the cvs
   modules file?
 
2) If so, what might prevent that from happening on a Linux RH 7.1
   system?
 
In order to provide a little flexibility with regards to the base
address of the working directory, I am attempting to set up a modules
file that would look something like:
 
`qtinc -d ${=CVSWORKBASE}/qt-2.3.1/include xproj/qt-2.3.1/include'
 
Then, I figured I could invoke cvs with something like:
 
`cvs -s $CVSWORKBASE qtinc'
 
In the modules file CVSWORKBASE would be the cvs user variable passed
from the command line.  In the case of the cvs invocation from the
command line the CVSWORKBASE would simply be environment.
 
So, WHERE THE *()@*# AM I GOING WRONG?
 
Is there a different/better way to not hardcode the base address of
the working directory for a checkout?
 
THX,
- Jeff
