I don't understand how SmartCVS isn't my cvs client. I run a program called SmartCVS whenever I access the repositories. I tried typing 'cvs ver' in the command line while I was in my working copy in Windows and Windows gave me an unrecognized program error.

Earlier you stated that the permissions were set using chmod in Unix. I was also referring to the permissions that chmod is able to modify. At the moment all my files in the repository are set to give read-only permission to everyone (chmod 444). No other permissions are assigned besides read. Isn't this the same permissions on the file we are both referring to? Because your last message indicated my permissions problem was related to the permissions on the file using chmod. I am new to Linux and to CVS so your help and patience is appreciated.
