Arthur Thanks for your help, If I avoid using the windows cvs, but use only the cvs installed by the cygwin, This case, how can I setup the CVSROOT ?

That means any file that cygwin produces is NOT a windows file (there are options buried in Cygwin which you can set to make it create 'windows-like' files). Therefore files created in Cygwin by xemacs or any other cygwin app cannot be read 'correctly' by non-cygwin apps. So even if you could 'point' your cygwin xemacs to a non-cygwin cvs (CVSNT) then you would end up with a corrupt result since the windows based CVSNT would read the files incorrectly. If you really want xemacs to use CVSNT rather than cygwin cvs, find where the cygwin cvs is installed (probably something like c:\cygwin\bin, or c:\cygwin\usr\bin) and uninstall it, download the 2.5.04 zip file of CVSNT binaries and extract them (preserving directories) into the c:\cygwin\bin directory (or whereever). However if you do that you'll probably end up with a corrupt repository unless you find and set all the cygwin settings that control line endings of files (should be CR+LF). Regards, Arthur
