I hadn't tried, but this is not the Problem. The repository looks like that:

cvstest
  |
   \cvsroot
     |
     |\CVSROOT
     |\DiaShow
   ...
Strange effect, when I try the cvs -d :local:d:\HomeDirs\mff\cvstest ls

cvs ls: cannot open directory D:/HomeDirs/mff/cvstest/cvstest:\
No such file or directory

I used to think that the CVSROOT-Module in the repository is alway named 
CVSROOT, regardless of the name of the Directory containing the toplevel 
modules. Is that wrong?
