Mike, Thanks for your reply and suggestions Derek and Mike.
"...Check out the project tree..." Ok, according to the Cederquist (p31): cvs checkout /design/project/dig/V9/src The system replies: cannot find module '/design/project/dig/V9/src' - ignored FYI: The CVSROOT variable for Peggy and me is set to /design/project/dig/V9 and the only system related differences is that she is running c-shell and I run t-shell. Tried importing: cvs import -m "Imported sources" /design/project/dig/V9/src digital start The system replies: directory /design/project/dig/V9/src is not relative within the repository Since she had problem checking out her project tree, she copied her files from her directory to /design/project/dig/V9/src and tried to check them in, however it was the same result as I initially got (I don't have any problem checking her files in). Derek, I tried adding: /design/project/dig/V9/src/cvs add abc.v The system replies: [add aborted]: there is no version here; do 'cvs checkout' first Lastly, tried to checkout a file as Peggy or myself: cvs /design/project/dig/V9/src/cvs checkout abc.v System replies: cannot find module 'abc.v' - ignored The file abc.v is already in cvs /design/project/dig/V9/src/ directory and has been checked in once (it has a abc.v,v) file generated. What else can I do to find the problem?

This is the problem. Once a project is created, in order to work in the project, one must first check out the project tree. (Strictly speaking, this is not true, but it requires a great deal of skill in CVS to work without the project tree). Then, when committing files, CVS has a context to work from, as saved in the CVS directories in the project tree. So if Peggy checks out the project, moves her files into the project tree, and commits them from there, ahe will have no problem. /|/|ike _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
