Yes -- it was fixed by renaming /cygwin/bin/cvs.exe /cygwin/bin/oldcvs.exe
AND recreating the repository. I am using the same server.

Should I check the file dates? I don't know how that could happen. The date
on the case.pm,v is Aug 16 2004. The date on case.pm Aug 17.

C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\cgi-bin>cvs commit  -m "Add fPAT
fields fo

cvs server: Up-to-date check failed for `case.pm'

C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\cgi-bin>cvs status case.pm
cvs server: conflict: case.pm is modified but no longer in the repository

It was and is. I have a directory called CaseAssessment that is working
fine. I just tried to import an additional directory to an existing
repository. Is this not allowed?

I'm using Win2003 Server for both the client and server.

I just meant to verify that was no directory called cgi-bin/cgi-bin. When I
was still struggling with the cygwin problem I had done a checkout from the
wrong directory and inadvertantly created the directory cgi-bin/cgi-bin.
