If this problem is not easily fixed, I will have to try other means of accessing this. pcl-cvs complains that the repository does not start at an absolute path (probably expecting something like /usr/local/cvsroot or something). Is there a way that I can "access" this repository using a different method that will work within pcl-cvs's constraints? > Does emacs have it's own built-in CVS client or is it using the cvs.exe from > CVSNT as a client?

Yes, the cvs interface in emacs is pcl-cvs which then launches cvs (the real client executable). I know that the problem probably lies in pcl-cvs, my message to this newsgroup was in the hope that there was a fix/workaround. Thanks, Sridhar -- Sridhar Boovaraghavan
