Diane,
The file you must modify is CVS/Root, which you say you've already done.
If you have 100 directories, then there is a CVS/Root in each directory.
The way I usually fix it is to change the 'top' one, then use:
find . -name Root -type f -exec cp CVS/Root {} \;
If you are using the CVSNT client (on linux/windows/mac) then you can
use 'cvs switch'.
Regards,
Arthur
