I imported a new folder (TEST) with 2 TXT files, downloaded it in two 
different work directories. I changed one of the files in both 
directories, commited in one of them and tried to update the other. I´ve 
got this message:

cvs -q -x update -P -- tips.txt (in directory X:\pos\TEST\)
RCS file: /Pos/TEST/tips.txt,v
retrieving revision 1.1
retrieving revision 1.2
Merging differences between 1.1 and 1.2 into tips.txt
cvs [server aborted]: cannot create tips.txt for copying: Permission denied


I tried the trace and I´ve got this message:

cvs -t -t -t -q -x update -P -- tips.txt (in directory X:\pos\TEST\)

Is this useful for you? Should I look for the problem with the cvsgui team?


Thanks a lot,
