Based on Sir Raorn's reply, I tried: C:\home\suresh\develop\vim\cvs>c:\opt\cvs\cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/vim checkout vim7
which did lots of stuff and ended with: U vim7/src/xxd/xxd.c cvs checkout: dying gasps from vim.cvs.sourceforge.net unexpected Repeating the command resulted in the same message: cvs checkout: Updating vim7/src/xxd cvs checkout: dying gasps from vim.cvs.sourceforge.net unexpected Doing only update as follows: C:\home\suresh\develop\vim\cvs>c:\opt\cvs\cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/vim update resulted in the same message: cvs update: Updating vim7/src/xxd cvs update: dying gasps from vim.cvs.sourceforge.net unexpected Is this normal? If not, what should I do? Thanks, --Suresh
