It happens because with old cvs the files to tag in a folder were listed on the command line to the taginfo script and Windows does not accept command lines longer than about 4000 characters. When I pointed this out to Tony he changed the way cvs operates so that these files are now supplied on standard input and there is no more any problems. :=) So please update your setup to the latest stable cvsnt version on your server (probably 2.0.14) and to WinCvs 1.3.14 on the clients. /Bo Berglund
