Hi,

I am working in the Windows NT environment and have
installed Cvs. Things seems to be working fine until I
decided using the command line interface. I am trying
to run a batch file (.bat / .cmd) file from the dos
prompt to automate a few of the commonly done
operations.
I am using the "ntserver" protocol to access the cvs
server. To specify the CVSROOT I did the following

cvs -d :ntserver:is0027:c:/cvsrep < CVS COMMAND >

but this doesn't seem to be working. I was initially
trying sth like

cvs -d :ntserver:100027 at is0027:c:/cvsrep <CVS COMMAND>


but an earlier post on the mailing list advised me to
omit the login ID. Could anyone let me know where I am
going wrong.

Following is the error message which i get when I
issue the command

cvs update: unknown method in CVSroot:
:ntserver:is0027:c:/cvsrep
cvs [update aborted]: Bad CVSROOT.

Thanks and regards
Arvind
