I am fairly new to cvsnt.

Versions:
  server = cvsnt 
  client = wincvs 2.0.2.3, using cvsnt 2.5.01.1976 client

I am trying to figure out the modules and modules2 files, prior to the
initial creation of my repository.  We are starting a new project in
cvsnt based on an existing project in another source control system. 
We are adding everything from scratch, as we do some restructuring. 
This allows the opportunity to plan the repository, and how we'll use
the modules file (and which one).  The problem is that I don't know
enough to figure it all out.

I currently have modules Adir, Bdir, and Cdir, which I imported,. with
the real repo structure below

/cvsrepo/A1dir/a1file
/cvsrepo/A1dir/A2dir/a2file

/cvsrepo/B1dir/b1file
/cvsrepo/B1dir/B2dir/b2file

/cvsrepo/C1dir/c1filfe
/cvsrepo/C1dir/C2dir/c2file
/cvsrepo/C1dir/C2dir/C3dir/c3file


I want a module that checks out the contents of C2dir (+ all files &
subdirs), A1dir (+all), B1dir (+all)

NEWMODDIR
     A1dir
          a1file
          A2dir
               a2file
     B1dir
          b1file
          B2dir
               b2file
     C3dir
          c3file
     c2file

I could not figure this out w/ modules, and tried the following w/
modules2, which does not work.

[NEWMODDIR]
/ = C1dir/C2dir
A1dir
A2dir


I guess the main thing I stumped on, is how do I check out one module
into another?


I have read the modules file info in the main cvs documentation, and
also modules/modules2 doc in winCvs.

Thanks in advance for any help
