DOMINO\\bob does not work for example... A side note: What happens if a user is logged in as DOMINO\bob and we have a $USER on the script command line? Will CVSNT properly send DOMINO\bob to the script in that case (since the string containing the backslash really did not come from the loginfo file but from a cvs variable instead)??? If this is sent properly, indicating that the backslashes actually only affect the parsing of the literal contents of the loginfo line, then people can simply modify their script calls to use / instead of \ as the domain/name separator. I can let CVSMailer switch the direction of the slash as soon as it is read in from the command line and thus all will probably work. But with some script line changes. /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
