Re: CVS repository not found

[Arthur Barrett]

Pavel,

If you are using TortoiseCVS then you are using the CVSNT client (it comes
bundled with Tortoise and does all the communications).  The correct place
to ask this question is the CVSNT newsgroup:

news://news.cvsnt.org/support.cvsnt
or
http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt

Regards,


Arthur Barrett
