All the actions on the Notify file are in edit.c - there are 3 or 4 open requests IIRC. Not much to go wrong... printing out errno and possibly the result from GetLastError() should pinpoint any problems if you can repeat it though. > On a side note: is there doco some place (wiki?) on how to call the CVSNT "DLL" directly (without just looking at the WinCVS source). I know how to "dynamically" load a DLL using LoadLibrary (which would be my preferred method so that users can specify where they've installed it), but is the "API" fixed? I assume it's an argv[] argc type interface, or is there something fancier? There's no DLL (not for a while now, since WinCVS 1.2) just the .exe, which is a fairly fixed format to call.. I generally add options rather than take them away. Just make sure you use fairly tolerant parsing unless the output changes. The cvsgui protocol is documented somewhere (google will find it) and that makes talking to the client easier. The cleanest way is to make the connection to the server and use the client/server protocol. There are libraries that do this (eg. jcvs for java clients) although they don't support anything CVSNT specific normally. > Do you think it would work better or worse called this way rather than _spawnvp() ? _spawnvp should work (although it's better to use CreateProcess/WaitForSingleObject under Windows generally). btw. Sandboxes on network drives are problematic due to the latencies introduced by the network software. It's not unheard of for file locks to hang around for a few seconds (in bad cases even a few minutes) and cause problems. Also there are compatibility issues eg. with samba sandboxes.
