CVSROOT

Hi

I have a problem with the CVS\ROOT files created by WinCVS 1.3.20
Before I try to update a file from the repository I read the CVSROOT from this file to find the repository. But in this case the files have a new format like

:pserver;username=name;host=host:/reposi/tory (something like this)

This format can not be parsed by the CVSRoot class. 

Does anyone know anything about this format? I searched the web but everything I could find uses the format 

:pserver:name@host:/reposi/tory 

Thank you
Dieter
