Which > version of CVS Server are you using? Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.17 (client/server) The same system is used for the server and client. The problem with -p is that my intended usage is with TortoiseCVS. I tried to use cvs.exe simply to try to prove or disprove it was a CVSNT vs. a TortoiseCVS issue. The workaround will not work in TortoiseCVS, and I doubt its developers would find it worthy of including in their code. Perhaps for the procedure at hand, a batch file can be set up to do the workaround described even though it adds a big kludge factor. Checkouts need to be by tag, so it adds a bunch of overhead to be sure the tag can be easily specified without having to resort to a command-line. Our organization is in the process of trying to roll out more use of version control, and TortoiseCVS is apparently going to be more a part of this since there are a number of command-line-o-phobes that must be contended with. I was trying specifically to avoid the command-line in this case even though I generally advocate using command-line tools. I would like to vote that -d . be fixed if it is a continuing issue with more current versions of CVSNT than happen to be packaged with TortoiseCVS. Is there a proper place to document this request? --- Kevin R.
