sorry, I had tried both update and commit - they gave the same error and
it seems that I have mixed this up in my first post.

CVSROOT environment variable deleted.

yes, same error message.

the root file contains ":ntserver:primergy:e:/cvs/cvsnt"

yes, it works fine.

Today I've installed all the mentioned CVS apps on the machine of another
developer. I connect through Dial Up Connection to his server and can access
the repository. Everything is fine with WinCVs. But BorCVS still reports the
error if I chose the menu items which operate on single files (not on all 
files
and subdirs).

For now I think I can live with it this way but I would be glad to hear 
from you
if you get to something new with this issue.

Many thanks for this great Delphi PlugIn !
