Did you create a directory on the server in an existing repository? If not, that's completely wrong. Were the "some files" you dumped into it RCS files?

If you're trying to check out an empty module, you must not use the -P flag to checkout since that will delete the empty directory. Since you're using WinCVS, you need to go to the Globals tab in the checkout window and uncheck "Prune empty directories". -- Larry Jones OK, there IS a middle ground, but it's for sissy weasels. -- Calvin
