Hello thx for ur response,
My cvs root is not set to '/' and i just checked it and it looks ok. Also i
tried to add the file to the the module in the tree that i was currently in
ie. dev/test in cvs and i was in dev/ trying to add test.
the command i used was :
cvs add test.java then
cvs commit test.java
The thing is that i have been able to ad files in the past so something
must've changed that im not aware off?
thx again
