Thanks, Jim! I tried to check out with the command "cvs -d 141.106.32.35 co healthlink" but got the following message:
Cvs checkout: CVSROOT "141.106.32.35" must be an absolute pathname Csv [checkout aborted]: Bad CVSROOT. Any idea about this? Could you please let me know how to check out a fresh copy with $CVSROOT set to the new machine?

First of all, don't use the server's IP address, use its name. That will prevent any future problems like this. The easiest thing to do is simply check out a fresh copy with your $CVSROOT set to the new machine. If you have outstanding changes that need to be checked in, then use the -d option: cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/path_to_repository commit -- Jim Hyslop Senior Software Designer Leitch Technology International Inc.
