#1261 commit going wrong
In G:\share\filters\softfocus\art: "C:\Program Files\CVSNT\cvs.exe" -q commit -m ._picts.rsrc
CVSROOT=:sserver:ddyer@repository:/repository
cvs server: user 'ddyer' is not a valid editor of the file '._picts.rsrc'
cvs [server aborted]: correct above errors first!

In this case, there is no apparent difference
in the windows properties of the underlying CVS
file, and the account is the one I use all the time.
Even if there is an underlying configuration/permission
problem (there shouldn't be) this "please correct"
message isn't at all helpful. What am I actually supposed to do?
-- perhaps this is a bug with the file name, "._picts.rsrc" causing a problem? Explorer
won't let you type such a name, for example.

The problem is that versions prior to 1.10.4 added files with the -kc or -kx option, which requires that the user performs a CVS Edit prior to doing a CVS Commit.
Short-term fix: Run the command 'cvs edit ._picts.rsrc' in the directory in question.
Long-term fix: Correct the option by running
cvs update -kcx ._picts.rsrc
cvs commit -f "Remove -kcx" ._picts.rsrc

thanks. It's not possible to do either of these things using the
tortoise interface, correct?

Well, you can of course use the "CVS Command" menu option.
