RE: Errors when attempting to use WinCVS

No it is not. Example:

cvs -d :pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/roundup
co roundup

The -d parameter for the cvs command tells cvs where the server is
located and how
to connect to the repository. Then follows the actual command (co) and
its parameters,
for example -r if you want a specific tag and then finally the module
name.

if you use -d as a parameter to cvs co it means to override the
directory into
which to put the checked out files (default is dir = modulename).


Best regards,

Bo Berglund

I thought the correct command would be

/cvs co -d [repository] [modulename]/
