assuming that with your shell `echo HOMER_ENV` gives "-d /home/sc env/homer" as
opposed to "HOMER_ENV".
wouldn't this mean what you are passing cvs looks like
cvs co -d . -d /home/sc env/homer
cvs co -d . -d /home/sc env/pilot

which means you are passing two -d options and you are attempting to check out
two different modules, does env/homer exist in $CVSROOT ?

suggestion, run the commands and paste the exact command and error messages to
your email, the above information looks suspiciously like you typed something
like the command you are using.  And what does your $CVSROOT look like? (be
sure to X out any passwords).  you are using the same pserver $CVSROOT from
both shells aren't you?

I'd crawl over an acre of 'Visual This++' and 'Integrated Development
