Re: CVS - CO single file w/o dirpath

I apologize if I wasn't clear enough.

I wanted to be able to check out a file without having the whole directory
path in my working directory.

==============================================

for example, when I wanted to checkout README, I did this

cvs checkout src/archgen/util/doc/examples/test/README

this created the whole directory path in my working directory.

===============================================

this is a pain!

The information that Ms Dieter told me was what I wanted to do.

 README is in my current working directory

===============================================

THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR HELP!

:-)
