Save yourself some grief and follow Bo's suggestion. Use a repository
prefix to mask drive mappings. Your clients don't need to know or care that
its on your c drive. I followed Bo's advice and created a folder on my d:
drive called cvsrepo. so my repository is at d:\cvsrepo\CM. I put
d:\cvsrepo as the prefix so my clients just need to specify
cvsroot=:pserver:user at machine:/CM
Very Clean indeed. Thanks again Bo!!!
