Bo, maybe i have a solution for you. I use CVSNT Build 68 and viewcvs-1.0.dev-win-r2 after searching google for hours i found the final hint: the rlog tool does not work if i use a colon in the CVSRoot path. since viewcvs and the cvsroot are located on c: i just use a leading backslash and it worked. Regards, Manuel #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- [general] # # This setting specifies each of the CVS roots on your system and assigns # names to them.
