Wow, good stuff... I was not expecting you to do the fix directly into the
source...
Have you notified Tony Hoyle about this ? It looks like something he would
like to know about.

Hi JB,

I decided to delve into the cvsnt source code to figure out why
recursive edit was not working.  I found a function in the NT-specific
code, expand_wild(), that was searching for a file using an incorrect
path.  The current working directory had already been set to the correct
location, so all I needed to do was strip off the directory information
before searching for the file.

Fixing this bug revealed a second.  The core server code was needlessly
opening hundreds of instances of the file \dev\null.  It appears that
whoever added the conditional compilation directives missed this code
fragment.  Anyways, I just surrounded the code with #ifndef _WIN32 and
everything seems OK.  I've attached the new cvs.exe and modified source
files (src/server.c & windows-NT/filesubr.c).

Cheers,
Bill

P.S.  You need to update both the client and the server.

 <<cvs.exe>>  <<server.c>>  <<filesubr.c>>

Hi Bill,

I did not find a solution as such. The problem has, I think, something
to do
with filenames (either length or "illegal" characters (in the cvsnt
meaning
of the term)). This was bugging me because I wanted to be able to edit a
bunch of directories/files.
Although there is no obvious solution from the GUI, I am writing a
Python
Macro that will do that instead of the Menu/Icon.
I will let you know how I get on with it, maybe you can even help ?

Regards

JB

Hi Jean-Baptiste,

I saw your message regarding the error that is generated in WinCVS
1.3.6.1 when executing the Edit command on a folder that contains other
folders.  I get the same message:

cvs [edit aborted]: cannot find res/ArrowCopy.cur: No such file or
directory

Did you find a solution or work-around?

Thanks,
Bill
