Hello Everyone.

First let me apologize for the silly questions I will likely be asking.

I am new to CVSNT.  I have used an existing repository under Linux but have never set one up from scratch.  I have downloaded CVSNT
2.5.03 build 2260 from March-Hare and Tortoisecvs-1.8.26. I followed the installation procedure by Bo Berglund as best I could.
When I get to the Tortoise portion about creating a new module I get a Bad CVSROOT.  I am selecting an empty folder as the source of
the module.  Do I need to have the files in that folder or point to a folder which contains the files.  I was hoping to start this
using a very simple project made up of one .c file and one .h file.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
Greg.
