I'm not sure to understand what you want to do... but I think that

c:\wxCVS\Plotto\$(WXCODE)\components\wxsheet\src\sheetlib_wx26.dsp

should be changed to

$(WXCODE)\components\wxsheet\src\sheetlib_wx26.dsp

if you are using $(WXCODE)=c:\wxCVS\wxCode\wxCode (i.e. an absolute path 
for wxCode) otherwise when that var is expanded, you get an invalid path.

PS: can you chmod the readme.txt in /home/groups/w/wx/wxcode/htdocs so 
that anyone of the wxCode group can access it (chmod g+rwx readme.txt) ?
I'll update it...
