Hi 


Thanks for the V quick reply. Really amazing speed from you.

That solves the CVS root problem

Next 
--------------------------

In a command 
cvs -d:pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/freedos login
and 
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/freedos co
modulename

:pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/freedos
should be the CVS root


What are the following in the above :
-----------------------------------------------
>>- Path
>>- Host address (IP / DNS name)


TIA
