Tried from both Win2k and Win98. TortoiseCVS supplies two executables
dependining on which windows platform you're using.
On my windows box I tried both the CVSNT 2.0.9 suppplied client and the
cvs.exe supplied with TortoiseCVS.

On my Win98 box (usually running linux) I used the cvs95.exe
which TortoiseCVS uses on Win95/98 boxes.

I just tried again:
C:\__work\_work4_ITS_Web\CVS-sandbox>cvs -d %test% co logparser
cvs server: Updating logparser
U logparser/.hraccesses
U logparser/parslog.pl

[...
I edit the comment section of parslog.pl and save the file.
There's a two minute time difference in the timestamp (my editor makes
the .bak version).
09/23/2003  05:48p               5,312 parslog.pl.bak
09/23/2003  05:52p               5,339 parslog.pl
...]

C:\__work\_work4_ITS_Web\CVS-sandbox>cvs -d %test% release -d logparser
Are you sure you want to release (and delete) directory `logparser': n
** `release' aborted by user choice.
