Ah, that is where I was fooled. Now I recall that "module" has a special meaning to CVS which I normally don't associate with the term. Is the "folder" a full path or is it just a folder name under the CVS HOME directory ? When I put a full path, I get "can not find module 'c:\MyPath'". Ditto for a folder name under the CVS HOME directory. What an incredible program ! I am sure it works somehow, but it just can't be as hard as I am encountering, or else thousands of programmers wouldn't be using it. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
