    I'm trying to get into this whole cvs thing.  So I went through and read the sourceforge intro to cvs.  I downloaded TortoiseCVS created a directory and tried to "Add A Module", I used the line
    cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/btplusplus login

    and get the error
    cvs [import aborted]: the :vs -d: access method is not supported by this port of CVS

    I am forwarding the port 2401 to my computer, I tried connecting at port 80 and 443.  I have tried leaving the :vs -d: off the address but then it just times out.  I would really like to get into cvs but obviously am having troubles.  Any help would be appreciated

      two errors.
      'Add a module' is the command used to create a new module on the cvs server. Use 'Checkout'.
      Also Trotoise does the login automatically for you, just fill out the fields in the checkout window or paste the stuff after -d (:pserver:...) without the login into the CVSROOT edit box and put 'BT++' into Module.

      There we go, thank you!
      where it said "Module" for some reason I thought that was the folder on my system, while its the folder, its the module from the server.  Once I did what you did it worked fine THANK YOU ;o
