You can also use the -t (trace) parameter to get a more detailed info. Your best bet for detailed CVS questions like this is the CVS e-mail list: http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs (Be sure to include the exact command and error you are receiving in your email messages.) and the archives are here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-cvs/ If you haven't discovered it yet the on-line manual is here: https://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.17/cvs.html Regards, Mike Klinke
