Thank you Tony & Rolf for your Reponses, I have cvsnt 2.0.34 and when I turn the repository prefix off I can't bring in other people's changes (or conflicts), when I turn it on, I get the nagging popup message that tells me I should disable the prefix and it won't let me synchronize. So let's assume I want to try using the unix fake option just to see if it works, how do I do that? Where is that option? If it's there by default then it's not working or something is wrong. Also, when you mention a specific build number like 57h, how exactly to I get to that? I was looking at the old archives that have all the .zip and .exe files but they don't have a build number on them, just dates. Sorry if that was an elementary question! I defiantly would love to get the 2.0.34 version to work but I can go back to 2.0.14 if I that's what both of you recommend, I'm scared of going way back to 1.11.1.3 because I think I'll have to upgrade soon again. Right now turning the prefix on or off doesn't work with 2.0.34 so maybe I'm missing that unix option that I see in various posts but can't find "how" to turn it on.

Use at your own risk. Eclipse works fine when you fake it out - it seems to have no code at all dealing with differences (which there aren't many... certainly nothing that a client should be bothered with - eclipse makes errors in its parsing such as assuming user output is authoritative and ignoring the data from the underlying protocol.. however even with that in mind there isn't a huge amount of difference). The whole point of the fake unix option is to make eclipse work. Really everyone should be using this with it. If there are still incompatibilities with that option enabled I can at least write workarounds that can be switched off for proper clients... however I couldn't find any (before my temporary WSAD license expired anyway). 2.0.14 is at the borders of supportability right now - it's still basically supportable because the number of new features since is low, but I would recommend upgrading.
