[cvsnt] Re: Confusion with Windows Device Names and Port Numbers when Specifying the Root

[Siegfried Heintze]

Where do I specify the repository prefix?


You don't need the port since it's default.  You don't need the 
C:/CONVEX stince you specified a repository prefix.

NB:  The repository prefix prepends itself to any repository passed. 
So, if I created a repository in c:\convex\myrepos, and had my 
repository prefix set to c:\convex, I would use:

   :sspi:myserver:/myrepos

to access it.  Note that sspi doesn't require a login, it's the easiest 
to setup and use.

You don't need to, that's the point of the repository prefix.  However, 
in general you can do so with // in place of : like so:

   :sspi:myserver:/c//convex/myrepos
