CVS is inherently ANSI with its filename processing. With 2.0.51 both client and server must be using exactly the same codepage otherwise the output will be scrambled for characters >127. 2.0.58 client/server has a translation mode which maps between client codepage and server codepage (this works best if the server is in UTF8, as that can support any character). To activate this use the -o option on the cvs client command line. Tony
