"Already has cvs control files"? No. I just want to create put cgi-bin under
version control.

"have not specified a subdirectory"? Htdocs is the subdirectory. What should
I have done? 


The import command looked like it worked. Everything looks fine when I do
cvs ls -R too.

What should I do now? What is the ramification of deleting cgi-bin from the
repository so I can start over.

Module pair? I guess so. Here is what I get when I try to add:

C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\cgi-bin>cvs add case.pm
cvs [server aborted]: Directory /CONVEX/CONVEX/cgi-bin/cgi-bin does not
exist on
 the server

Oh -- I see. Hmmm.. Instead of on "CONVEX/cgi-bin", should I have put "."?
Or perhaps I should have said

Cd ..
cvs import -C -n -I *.mdb cgi-bin

Which one is correct?

   Thanks,
