I don't understand how SmartCVS isn't my cvs client. I run a program 
called SmartCVS whenever I access the repositories.  I tried typing 'cvs 
ver' in the command line while I was in my working copy in Windows and 
Windows gave me an unrecognized program error.  Am I missing something here?

I'm also confused about the permissions. Earlier you stated that the 
permissions were set using chmod in Unix.  I was also referring to the 
permissions that chmod is able to modify.  At the moment all my files in 
the repository are set to give read-only permission to everyone (chmod 
444). No other permissions are assigned besides read.  Isn't this the 
same permissions on the file we are both referring to? Because your last 
message indicated my permissions problem was related to the permissions 
on the file using chmod.  I am new to Linux and to CVS so your help and 
patience is appreciated.
