Re: cvs problem with modules, please help!

[Swapnilp]

If you can describe in detail, what You are trying to do, then that
will be helpful. Since If you check the help of -d option. it says the

For example
module -d dir
is place module in the directory "dir" instead of "module"

Please specify the purpose.
