Re: CVS Back online, web address.

Maybe I just don't know what I'm doing (probably!) but I get the following error
when trying to checkout from CVS:  protocol error: directory
'/o/cvs/mmadore/tn5250' not within root '/tn5250'

This is after a long listing of files with a question mark before each one.  Am 
I
doing it wrong?  Thanks.
