RE: CVS/ANT/Win2K

[Joshua Davis]

Maybe the forward slashes are the problem.  ANT is Java, so it may also be the case that backslashes are 'interpreted' by ANT.

How about: "-d address@hidden" or "-d address@hidden"?

Backslashes worked for me using CVS on NT with the repository on a share.

Oops - I didn't put in that "file:" stuff, my mail client did

The actual paths I tried are

"//Beta/address@hidden/CVS"

and

":local://Beta/address@hidden/CVS"
