Actually the modulename is "boost", not your local directory. >Ah, that is where I was fooled. Now I recall that "module" has a special >meaning to CVS which I normally don't associate with the term. Yes, it's the collection of directories/files/modules/aliases that are predefined for a repository. The directories are automatically modules. >Is the "folder" a full path or is it just a folder name under the CVS HOME >directory ? When I put a full path, I get "can not find module 'c:\MyPath'". >Ditto for a folder name under the CVS HOME directory.
