    Hopefully I have reached a point where I can WinCVS.

    I am asked for the Module Name and Path on the Server when I am trying to check out module.

    I have tried all the obvious entries but I have failed.

    Please let me know the same.

    Regards
    Bhavbhuti

          This is described on the CVS page on SourceForge (http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=50107). The setttings are:

      Module Name: codebook
      Path: /cvsroot/codebook

            You don't want to mess with these files. These are the MetaData stuff that is used by CVS to keep track of what has changed, how to roll back, etc.

            When you go to check out a module, only type 'codebook' for the module name. It seems as though you typed 'codebook/CVSROOT', or just 'CVSROOT' for the module name. Make sure you set the path in Preferences to '/cvsroot/codebook', and then only type 'codebook' for the module name when checking out.

          I did just that.  Thanks.  No wonder I was seeing all the other directories.

          The codebook directory is very slow in coming over the wire.  It's almost half an hour today and an hour yesterday.  The log:

          Python 2.2b2 (#26, Nov 16 2001, 11:44:11) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
          CVSROOT: venussoftop@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/codebook (ssh authentication)
          cvs checkout -P codebook (in directory C:\VSO3\CVS)
          cvs server: Updating codebook

          Haven't seen a single file come over yet.  Any configurations on my part?

          For your reference,the whole jing-bang *required* python (see log) or wincvs doesn't work at all.

          Also maybe but I'm not sure the HOME and CVS_RSH environmental varaibles are required.

      Thanks Ed for the response.

      I'll take this opportunity to say that I am not able to post new messages on the CB forum.  It says page not found.

      The following is my CVS log:
      Python 2.2b2 (#26, Nov 16 2001, 11:44:11) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
      CVSROOT: venussoftop@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/codebook (ssh authentication)
      cvs checkout -P /cvsroot/codebook (in directory C:\vso3\CVSWork\CodeBook)
      cvs server: cannot find module `/cvsroot/codebook' - ignored

      cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot expand modules

      *****CVS exited normally with code 1*****

      I am sorry I wasn't able to checkout.

      The link you had suggested is well for Admin Pref.  But WinCVS 1.3.8.1 won't allow me to checkout without any pathing.

      Yipee!!! I just got it.  a . did it, silly me.  Here is the continuing log for your reference

      cvs checkout -P . (in directory C:\vso3\CVSWork\CodeBook)
      cvs server: Updating .
