Thank-you. After resetting CVSROOT (CVSROOT=:local:/cygdrive/c/cygwin/home/Mark/src/master), cvs init returned the following:
cvs init: syntax error in /cygdrive/c/cygwin/home/Mark/src/master/CVSROOT/config' is missing '=' Subsequent cvs init's from c:/ runs without error - but ONLY in c:/ Performing a cvs init or any other cvs command from any other directory continues to render: GANDALF:/cygdrive/c/ensignInternet> cvs up cvs update: CVSROOT must be an absolute pathname (not `c:\cygwin\home\Mark\src\m')ter cvs update: when using local access method. '.s [update aborted]: Bad CVSROOT: `:local:c:\cygwin\home\Mark\src\master I am not sure why the "ter" shows up following the close paren above. And the .s is confusing as well.

Try using ":local:/cygdrive/c/cygwin/home/Mark/src/master" instead. -Larry Jones I don't need to do a better job.
