I did, but I'm dealing with an existing repository that is at root.  I know
the document says not to set it at root, but that is where the repository
is, and that is where I'd prefer and keep it.  Additionally, there has been
a lot of discussion about how to fix this problem by editing the registry.
So accordingly I set the Repository Prefix to: C:/ and added a single
Repository Root of C:\Repository.  The values as they appear in the registry
are the same.
I then set my CVSROOT=:pserver:myusername at mycvsserver:/Repository  When I
try and login, it reports "CVSROOT requires a path spec" and "CVSROOT may
only specify a positive, non-zero, integer port (not 'C:') Perhaps you
entered a relative pathname?"

So, I then go back to the client, and look at the lists of Repository roots
and notice that it changed it from C:\Repository to simply /Repository so I
restart and try again, with the same exact error.

Then, based upon the information on this list and such about Repositories on
the Root drive, I go to the registry and remove the trailing slash from the
Prefix... It again reports the same error I documented above.

So, what am I doing wrong?  Is it my CVSROOT?  Is it my Repository Prefix?
Is it my Repository Root?  Should I modify the value in the Registry?  What?
