Oops - I didn't put in that "file:" stuff, my mail client did
The actual paths I tried are
"//Beta/Projects@C/CVS"
and
":local://Beta/Projects@C/CVS"
 
Original message follows:
>Hi,
>I am trying to execute CVS from ANT under Win2000. My problem is to make it
>recognize the repository.

>If I specify "-d file://Beta/Projects@C/CVS" (a UNC path)  the message is
>"file://Beta/Projects@C/CVS must be an absolute pathname"

>Putting :local: in front of the path doesn't help either. ANT/CVS complains
>"cvs.exe checkout: missing hostname in CVSROOT:
>:local://Beta/Projects@C/CVS
>cvs.exe [checkout aborted]: Bad CVSROOT."

>I have tried various combinations of forward & backslashes as well as some
>bad language, but nothing seems to work.

>Can someone help me please?
