Hello CVS gurus,

I am having to problems getting CVS to work on my Windows 2000 box.  It mainly has to 
do with CVSWEB.  Once I import a module and set it up in CVSWEB, if I click on the 
version number next to a file, I get the following error message in my browser:

-----------
Error
Error: Unexpected output from cvs co: cvs [checkout aborted]: 
C:/cvsroot/saweb/CVSROOT: No such file or directory
Check whether the directory C:/cvsroot/saweb/CVSROOT exists and the script has 
write-access to the CVSROOT/history file if it exists.
The script needs to place lock files in the directory the file is in as well.

cvs -dC:/cvsroot/saweb co -p -r1.1 "communication/auxiliary.asp"
-----------

So it is wanting a CVSROOT directory in this module's repository directory?  But when 
I look at other people's cvswebs, I do not see a CVSROOT directory in each repository. 
  Wouldn't cvs.exe make such a directory if it was needed?  Why is CVSWEB requesting 
this directory?

If I do copy my C:\cvsroot\cvsroot directory into c:\cvsroot\saweb, I am able to click 
the version and properly get the contents of the file, but when I click on the 
"(download)" link when viewing the CVS log for any file in cvsweb, I now get this 
error:

---------

Anyone know what I am doing wrong?  What is this all about me needing a CVSROOT 
directory in each repository, rather than just one in the root repository directory?  
I don't see this problem with any sample CVSWEB sites.  Have I set this up wrong?

Thanks for your help!
