RE: CVS, emacs, shh, cygwin

[Seth Copen Goldstein]

Sorry for the incomplete information.  I already made the fix such that
CVSROOT is /cygdrive/f/....  I included the info about f:/ because the
afs module also maps the /afs structure on f:/.  So I would think both
work.

So, I now specify CVSROOT as /cygdrive/f/, but other problems continue.
