just some info I forgot to paste to the initial message. Sorry again
for the waste of bandwidth, and thanks in advance for any help.
TIA,

Forrest,
I get what follows. I understand that I must tell CVS in some way that
the source directory (the one containing the stuff to be put on the
server) is /home/marco/PROJECTS/RULE/HTML, but I must be really
missing some basic point here. Look at this output:
cvs -z3 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/webcvs/ ci HTML
cvs commit: Examining HTML
cvs commit: in directory HTML:
cvs [commit aborted]: there is no version here; do 'cvs checkout'
first
[marco@polaris RULE]$ cvs checkout
cvs checkout: No CVSROOT specified! Please use the `-d' option
cvs [checkout aborted]: or set the CVSROOT environment variable.
[marco@polaris RULE]$ export CVSROOT /home/marco/PROJECTS/RULE/HTML
bash: export: `/home/marco/PROJECTS/RULE/HTML': not a valid identifier
[marco@polaris RULE]$ export CVSROOT=/home/marco/PROJECTS/RULE/HTML
[marco@polaris RULE]$ cvs checkout
cvs checkout: No CVSROOT specified! Please use the `-d' option
cvs [checkout aborted]: or set the CVSROOT environment variable.
[marco@polaris RULE]$ export CVSROOT=/home/marco/PROJECTS/RULE/HTML
[marco@polaris RULE]$ cvs checkout
cvs [checkout aborted]: /home/marco/PROJECTS/RULE/HTML/CVSROOT: No
such file or directory
[marco@polaris RULE]$ cp mkdir HTML/CVSROOT
cp: cannot stat `mkdir': No such file or directory
