	Ok.  Did all of that with one exception:  I hadn't run it from a dos box outside of WinCvs.

	All three crashed.  Same exception I noted previously.

	For those who did not see the specific crash:

	The exception unknown software exception (0xc06d007e) ocurred in the application (cvs.exe) at location 
0x77f1d642.

	Hope this helps.
