I tried to check this too so I want into WinCvs to a test module I
have not touched in quite a while to cvs remove a file using the GUI.
Then when I committed the removal this was shown (lines wrapped by
newsreader):

'FourthFile.txt' has been moved successfully to the recycle bin...
cvs -z9 remove FourthFile.txt (in directory
F:\Engineering\Antares\PC\ModuleXX\)
cvs server: scheduling `FourthFile.txt' for removal
cvs server: use 'cvs commit' to remove this file permanently

***** CVS exited normally with code 0 *****

cvs -z9 commit -m "removal test" FourthFile.txt (in directory
F:\Engineering\Antares\PC\ModuleXX\)
cvs server: [23:04:13] waiting for bosse's lock in

cvs server: [23:06:13] obtained lock in C:/cvsrepo/pc/ModuleXX
cvs [commit aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages
if any)

I never saw suct behaviour before, what is going on here?
I have not put any locks anywere and it was a month or so since I did
anythin at all in this test module. ?????????????

So I checekd the version:
cvs ver

***** CVS exited normally with code 0 *****

Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 1.11.1.3 (Build 73) (client/server)
Client: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 1.11.1.3 (Build 72)
(client/server)
Server: 

(Note that WinCvs puts the 'Server:' word last when it should have
been first....)
