Thanks!

I have created a xide dir in the cvsrepo dir and put a dummy.txt file in
it.
I did this on the server.

Now I get this error:
,-------
|In C:\: cvs -q -z6 -x checkout -P xide
|CVSROOT=:sspi:testcvs at cvs.xharbour.com:/cvsrepo/xide
|cvs [checkout aborted]: No valid repository roots defined.

Did I do something wrong here?

BTW I have created a test account. The user name is "testcvs" and the
password is "test".
Thanks!

Best regards,

Patrick Mast
