Steve,
There is a Macro named "Change Root" which will change all the CVS/Root
file of a checked-out copy (usefull if your server changes location and
you don't want to recheck-out). If you open this file, you'll see that
the macro is not functional unless you uncomment the first line. There
is an example of how to do that with a fake machine which happens to be
the one you're talking about.
I assumed the user opened the file, uncomment these lines, then applied
it on the local checked-out copy. On order to retore the correct
settings, you got to apply this macro again with this time the good Root
!
Regards,
alex.
