Lots of people like me still using 2.1.1 under the covers, and bouncing off CVSNT. Fortunately, the warning about the "prefix issue" is there, so users know that something has to be changed, they just don't know what. And yes, the IDE guys could do a much better job of documenting the issue for users. Just so the workaround gets stated for posterity in this thread, on the Control Panel of the newest version (2.5.01.1927) under the Compatability tab, select 'Non-cvsnt clients' in the first combobox and check the 'Emulate -n checkout bug'. You might also need the 'Respond as cvs 1.11.2 to version request', but so far I'm running okay without it (on WSAD 5.1.0). By default the 'Hide extended info' box is also checked. BTW, what's the default for cvsnt compatible clients? I have 'Respond as 1.11.2' checked, but that could be me pushing the wrong button. Thanks for the reply. DMF
