CVS Floatation Device needed

[Lamar Seifuddin]

Excuse me......for lack of knowledge.......

background is Sofware testing.......now trying to stay afloat on the
front end of software development process... job is to convert
company software from SCCS and implement CVS.

Question:

After conversion from SCCS to RCS and copying the *,v files
to a "newly created cvs repository" which contains the CVSROOT
directory but not the CVS directory....and the subdirectories contain
the *,v files.


Question:   why don't I have the CVS directory in my "cvs repository"

Question:    how do I conduct a cvs checkout of this directory?



water is deep here.......and cold..........too


thank you,

Lamar
