I don't know the first thing about the NT version of CVS - so I don't know
how you're supposed to indicate the drive letter.
CVSNT has a site that may be of help, though:
http://www.cvsnt.org/wiki/CvsChapter29
<WAG>
Otherwise, try back-quoting the :
:pserver:andyt@javsource1:c\:/eglrepository
</WAG>

Is the server a Cygwin CVS? If so, try using /cygdrive/c in stead of c:\

NB: if this WAG doesn't help, try providing a bit more info, such as what
kind of CVS is running on the Win2000 server

Ronald,
Thanks, but sadly no, its CVSNT (1.11.1)
From reading the error messages though I don't think this will work
either. The error seems to be caused by the ':' which used to seperate
the server name and the path to the repository but which is now the
(optional) indicator that what follows is a port number;
:(gserver|kserver|pserver):[[user][:password]@]host[:[port]]/path
I suspect that there is some conflict between unix style paths "/path"
above and the MS-DOS style required to talk to CVSNT (which includes a
':' to seperate drive and directory). Or I could be on completely the
wrong track.
Don't make me install WinCVS ;-)
Regards,
Andy
Ronald,
Thanks again. I found the answer (eventually) via this posting;
http://www.cvsnt.org/pipermail/cvsnt/2002-March/001261.html
The correct form (for posterity) is;
$ cvs -d:pserver:andyt@javsource1:/c//eglrepository login
etc.
Regards,
Andy
