Attempting to use the first command from WinCVS I get: "cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/boost login Logging in to :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2401:/cvsroot/boost cvs [login aborted]: Error reading from server cvs.sourceforge.net: 0: No such file or directory" No doubt something else is set up incorrectly, but I have no idea what. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
