[cvsnt] Re: Browsing CVSNT using extssh

[Mark Townsend]

I am using CVSNT on Windows 2000 Pro.  I am also connecting through 
:extssh: protocol using WSAD 5.1.  

I tried symlinking with Cygwin to cvs from cvs.exe and that didn't seem 
to change anything.

I tried copying the cvs.exe from the cvsnt directory into the /usr/bin 
directory of cygwin as 'cvs'.  That didn't change anything.

If I rename the cvs.exe to cvs won't that break pserver?

I tried pserver and pserver is returning "E cvs server", so it seems a 
problem with Cygwin when launching CVSNT executable.  This problem 
doesn't show itself in earlier versions fo CVSNT with Cygwin :extssh:
