You don't use "exec task with vssget". Instead of using the task vssget, you
use the task exec.
His example shows how to use that task:
Example:
<exec executable="${ss.path}/ss.exe">
<arg value="get" />
<arg value="${project}" />
<arg value="-R" />
<arg value="-I-" />
<arg value="-GWS" />
<arg value="-Y${ss.user},${ss.pass}" />
</exec>

Subject: RE: doing SourceSafe get
this helped a lot..I've got something to work on now. So it's not working
correcty.
What I don;t understand is how to use exec task with vssget. I mean what is
the right way to execute vssget with "-GWS" option ??
Thanks
