Checkout files from multiple CVS folders to a single folder

[JRathman]

Hi all,
 
I'm new to CVS. 

I have a CVS Server. And use the WINCVS
client to access the server.

I have created a repository and started
loading my files. 

file 1 is in path1/current_lib_components_binaries

file 2 is in path2/binary_components

I've set up the CVSROOT modules with

twofiles -a
path1/current_lib_components_binaries/file1
path2/binary_components/file2

From WINCVS I execute

cvs -d :sspi:server:/Joecvs -t checkout
-d source -P -- twofiles

For the second file I get the warning
cvs server: warning: source/file2 is
not (any longer) pertinent

The first file is successfully retrieved.

I've tried changing the listing of
the files in the modules file to
twofiles file2
file1

that gave me
cvs server: warning: source/file1 is
not (any longer) pertinent

I've found that I can export the files
with
cvs -d :sspi:server:/Joecvs export
-D NOW -d source -P -- twofiles

        but
the files are not available for edit. So, this will work for building an
executable but not for development. 

What I'm trying to accomplish is to
gather files from multiple ("Common" and others) folders in CVS
to a single directory. Is there a better way to do this?

I
Thanks
