Then you're not specifying the filename correctly -- you have to specify
both the module and the file name. For example, if you have a module
called "foo" that contains the files "foo1" and "foo2". If you do:
cvs checkout foo
you'll get a directory "foo" and the files "foo/foo1" and "foo/foo2".
If you just want to checkout the file "foo1", you do:
cvs checkout foo/foo1
