RE: CVS/ANT/Win2K

[Joshua Davis]

Maybe the forward slashes are the problem.  ANT is Java, so it may also be the case that backslashes are 'interpreted' by ANT. How about: "-d \\Beta\Projects@C\CVS" or "-d \\\\Beta\\Projects@C\\CVS"? Backslashes worked for me using CVS on NT with the repository on a share.   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Charles de Villiers Sent: Thursday, December 07, 2000 5:46 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re:CVS/ANT/Win2K 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.
