WSAD/Eclipse is not compatible with any repository using drive letters. It just falls over apparently randomly presumably because it can't parse them. 2. If you don't use drive letters, WSAD/Eclipse is hardcoded to not allow you to use a CVSNT server (even a Unix CVSNT server). It even puts up a dialog blaming this incompatibility on CVSNT. Basically the WSAD developers *really* want you to use a standard Unix server - even to the point of hardcoding incompatibility with CVSNT just to try to force it - the proof being that if you pretend to be a Unix server the problems magically disappear (and, suspiciously, it also works about twice as fast.. ). 2.0.35 can pretend to be a Unix server, if you want to verify it for yourself. That's all the WSAD compatibility that will be worked on from now on. All future problems with their client should be referred to IBM or Eclipse respectively. Tony
