RE: cvs update -A doesn't work . . . ?

[Christopher Currie]

Jim,
   cvs on our server is version 1.3.2.03, and on our client machines, the
version is: 1.3.20.3 Beta (Build 3), WINCVS.  Thanks Jim.

 - Christopher

P.S.
    I've been using the command line interface of WINCVS to run cvs
commands.

Something is definitely wrong here. At this point, "Sticky Tag" should say
"(none)".

What is generating the "***** CVS exited ... " messages? Those are not
generated by CVS.

Which version of CVS are you running (both on the client and on the server)?
