Basically if you try to do local mode to a network drive you'll get a fatal error: cvs [version aborted]: Local access to network share not supported (Use -N to override this error). You can supress the error using cvs -N, which allows those who insist on using network shares to go on doing so. Lockserver is switched off by default in local mode (I considered making it fatal to use a network share without a lockserver... maybe I still will...) eg. C:\>cvs -d //spock-xp/d$/repo version cvs [version aborted]: Local access to network share not supported (Use -N to override this error). C:\Documents and Settings\tmh>cvs -N -d //spock-xp/d$/repo version Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.0.25 (client/server) Tony
