You are correct, it is passing "cvs co -d . -d /home/sc env/homer"
Perhaps what I want to do can't be done, I was sure it could though. I've got files that I don't want in a directory when they are checked out from CVS (e.g. .cshrc). I want them dumped in the $HOME directory not in a directory $HOME/HOMER_ENV. I've tried many different configurations because I thought the only way to get the file without having it placed in a directory was to use the -d flag. I've read the modules section in the cederqvist and I'm out of ideas. Any suggestions?

And what does your $CVSROOT look like? (be sure to X out any passwords). you are using the same pserver $CVSROOT from both shells aren't you? > > Did I specify something incorrectly?
