Gerry et al.,

What can cause the p4 clients command to return a 255 result code?

Nick,

That error message indicates that the "p4 clients" command returned a
result code of 255 to the caller (VCP in this case).  That's usually
an error indication, so VCP is conservative about letting a suspicious
result code slip by and dies instead.

Is there any other error text emitted to the screen or to the log
file?

Hi Barrie,

I hope you are well.  

First of all, I'd like to let you know that your VCP tool was a great
help in moving one of our large CVS trees to Perforce (Solaris to Linux
2004.2 respectively).  Thank You.

Now I'm trying to do the same with a Windows to Windows conversion
(CVSNT on Win2K3 to Perforce version 2004.2 on Windows) and I've
encountered the following error message:

p4 -u Admin -p znetest:1666 clients returned 255 not 0

Any idea how to read this?  The server has only one client and one user
and a separate p4 clients command returns the following:

Client ZNETEST 2005/05/17 root C:\temp\p4work 'Created by Admin. '

I've even deleted all the clients to prevent any output from the p4
clients command, but I get the same error message.

Any help/direction you can give is greatly appreciated.

P.S. - I'm using the compiled vcp.exe for windows executable found on
the public perforce depot (vcp v0.9, change number 4232 (2004/03/18))

Thanks,

Nick
