Hey folks!
 I'm having a tough time getting started with my CVSNT server. Can anyone
recommend a good book that includes CVS NT Servers? I'm slowly learning
nuances thru this mailing list that I am unable to find in the documentation
on line. Perhaps a good book would help me. However, I don't want to buy a
CVS book on UNIX servers that has commands that won't work on NT servers.
For example, I recently learned about the /c//dir syntax for specifying the
repository on a windows machine and that is (I believe) specific to CVSNT.

Thanks,
    Siegfried

You need to run cvs add from within a sandbox, and it will added to the 
corresponding location in the repository.  Also, adding only marks a 
file for addition.  You need to commit before it will actually be added 
to the repository.

	<< in your sandbox >>
	cvs add foo.pl
	cvs ci -m "adding test file" foo.pl
