Re: Import problem!

Did anyone manage to resolve this issue? It's a bit of a non-starter
if I can't import a project. 

I've previously had to use Cygwin's cvs to import a project, which can
then be managed from WinCVS. That's not really acceptable.

I'm using the latest CVSNT 2.5.03 and WinCVS 2.0.2.4, with cvs 1.11.22
on the server. 

thanks,

Chris
