My guess would be that the colon in the pathname is being interpreted as a field
separator. Try the following:
cvs -d :local:\\z\iil\iswp\data\apt\ISIS\repository get trycvs

Federal Record Status Not Determined
Hi,
I forgot to say that in my previous email - I also tried it with forward
slashes (after reading in the mailing-list about similar problems):
cvs -d :local:z:/iil/iswp/data/apt/ISIS/repository get trycvs
Doesn't work either - I get the very same error message from CVS.
Please note that, like I said in the previous email, the same command-line
(even with backward-slashes) works with version 1.10.7 of CVS.

No, it's not. There are some parts of CVS that insist on forward
slashes (/) instead of backward slashes (\) and this is one of them. I
understand that this is inconvenient for Windows users, but I urge you
to get used to using forward slashes with CVS or you'll have no end of
strange problems.
