You can define the environmental 'CVSROOT' for your login shell, and/or override that definion when you invoke CVS. For 'ordinary' user access to a local repository: $ cvs -d If you're working to a remote server the syntax is a bit different - check with the CVS manager and read the 'Cederqvist' document at 'www.cvshome.org' for the full story. If you're setting up the server, you will become _very_ familiar with this comprehensive, but not very tutorial, document. Note one of the oddities of CVS is that commands are parsed in order, and in particular there is another use of the '-d' operator if it comes after the entry. That's not what's biting you here, however. > I can usually get most things up and running after a bit of dappling,,This one > has me most flustered,and could use a nudge in the right direction,,Any > insights apprecited Thanks ,jbt HTH. - John Mills To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
