Hi, I'm experiencing some problems with edit using the last stable cvsnt exe and I found in the archives the message thread below, which describes the problem I'm having. Does anyone know if this bug is fixed in the latest version and if so is this latest RC looking like it's going to be the final version? Thanks Dave vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv From the archives vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv Wow, good stuff... I was not expecting you to do the fix directly into the source... Have you notified Tony Hoyle about this ? It looks like something he would like to know about. -----Original Message----- From: Bill Rust [mailto:brust at symyx.com] Sent: 28 November 2001 23:05 To: jean-baptiste.lab at ttpcom.com Subject: RE: WinCVS Edit Problem Hi JB, I decided to delve into the cvsnt source code to figure out why recursive edit was not working. I found a function in the NT-specific code, expand_wild(), that was searching for a file using an incorrect path. The current working directory had already been set to the correct location, so all I needed to do was strip off the directory information before searching for the file. Fixing this bug revealed a second. The core server code was needlessly opening hundreds of instances of the file \dev\null. It appears that whoever added the conditional compilation directives missed this code fragment. Anyways, I just surrounded the code with #ifndef _WIN32 and everything seems OK. I've attached the new cvs.exe and modified source files (src/server.c & windows-NT/filesubr.c). Cheers, Bill P.S. You need to update both the client and the server. <<cvs.exe>> <<server.c>> <<filesubr.c>> -----Original Message----- From: Jean-Baptiste Lab [mailto:jean-baptiste.lab at ttpcom.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 21, 2001 11:54 PM To: Bill Rust Subject: RE: WinCVS Edit Problem Hi Bill, I did not find a solution as such. The problem has, I think, something to do with filenames (either length or "illegal" characters (in the cvsnt meaning of the term)). This was bugging me because I wanted to be able to edit a bunch of directories/files. Although there is no obvious solution from the GUI, I am writing a Python Macro that will do that instead of the Menu/Icon. I will let you know how I get on with it, maybe you can even help ?

I get the same message: cvs [edit aborted]: cannot find res/ArrowCopy.cur: No such file or directory Did you find a solution or work-around?
