I know how to get a bit more debug info out of the ViewCvs system, so I applied that to this problem. The result is attached as the html response given by ViewCvs with all of the data needed for debug (I hope). It turns out that what ViewCvs is trying to do is to log the files in the folder it is moving into. It executes a command for all of the files therein like this (the below is all on one line with space separation): "C:\Programs\cvsnt\cvs.exe" "rcsfile" "rlog" "-r" "C:\cvsrepo\pc\CVSNT\cvsbin\ca.pem,v" "C:\cvsrepo\pc\CVSNT\cvsbin\co.exe,v" "C:\cvsrepo\pc\CVSNT\cvsbin\COPYING,v" "C:\cvsrepo\pc\CVSNT\cvsbin\cvs.chm,v" "C:\cvsrepo\pc\CVSNT\cvsbin\cvs.exe,v" "C:\cvsrepo\pc\CVSNT\cvsbin\cvs95.exe,v" "C:\cvsrepo\pc\CVSNT\cvsbin\cvsagent.exe,v" "C:\cvsrepo\pc\CVSNT\cvsbin\cvsapi.dll,v" "C:\cvsrepo\pc\CVSNT\cvsbin\cvscontrol.exe,v" "C:\cvsrepo\pc\CVSNT\cvsbin\cvsdiag.exe,v" "C:\cvsrepo\pc\CVSNT\cvsbin\cvslock.exe,v" "C:\cvsrepo\pc\CVSNT\cvsbin\cvsnt.cpl,v" "C:\cvsrepo\pc\CVSNT\cvsbin\cvsnt.ico,v" "C:\cvsrepo\pc\CVSNT\cvsbin\cvsservice.exe,v" "C:\cvsrepo\pc\CVSNT\cvsbin\default_trigger.dll,v" "C:\cvsrepo\pc\CVSNT\cvsbin\expat.dll,v" "C:\cvsrepo\pc\CVSNT\cvsbin\extnt.exe,v" "C:\cvsrepo\pc\CVSNT\cvsbin\extnt.ini,v" "C:\cvsrepo\pc\CVSNT\cvsbin\ext_protocol.dll,v" "C:\cvsrepo\pc\CVSNT\cvsbin\ext_xdiff.dll,v" "C:\cvsrepo\pc\CVSNT\cvsbin\fork_protocol.dll,v" "C:\cvsrepo\pc\CVSNT\cvsbin\genkey.exe,v" "C:\cvsrepo\pc\CVSNT\cvsbin\gserver_protocol.dll,v" "C:\cvsrepo\pc\CVSNT\cvsbin\infolib.h,v" "C:\cvsrepo\pc\CVSNT\cvsbin\ntserver_protocol.dll,v" "C:\cvsrepo\pc\CVSNT\cvsbin\plink.dll,v" "C:\cvsrepo\pc\CVSNT\cvsbin\postinst.exe,v" "C:\cvsrepo\pc\CVSNT\cvsbin\protocol_map.ini,v" "C:\cvsrepo\pc\CVSNT\cvsbin\pserver_protocol.dll,v" "C:\cvsrepo\pc\CVSNT\cvsbin\rcsdiff.exe,v" "C:\cvsrepo\pc\CVSNT\cvsbin\relnotes.rtf,v" "C:\cvsrepo\pc\CVSNT\cvsbin\rlog.exe,v" "C:\cvsrepo\pc\CVSNT\cvsbin\server_protocol.dll,v" "C:\cvsrepo\pc\CVSNT\cvsbin\setci.exe,v" "C:\cvsrepo\pc\CVSNT\cvsbin\setuid.dll,v" "C:\cvsrepo\pc\CVSNT\cvsbin\sserver_protocol.dll,v" "C:\cvsrepo\pc\CVSNT\cvsbin\ssh_protocol.dll,v" "C:\cvsrepo\pc\CVSNT\cvsbin\sspi_protocol.dll,v" "C:\cvsrepo\pc\CVSNT\cvsbin\su.exe,v" "C:\cvsrepo\pc\CVSNT\cvsbin\uninsthlp.exe,v" "C:\cvsrepo\pc\CVSNT\cvsbin\xml_xdiff.dll,v Then it parses the output and fails when it reaches the first file that has been committed using 1863 (or when it reaches the second file, I don't know fort sure). In any case the log for the first file is shown but not for the second. Here is the message: cvs.exe [rcsfile aborted]: unrecognized operation '\x0' in C:\cvsrepo\pc\CVSNT\cvsbin\co.exe,v I hope you know what this means, possibly the output contains a \x0 where there should have been a different separator between the data??? /Bo /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
