This is mentioned in the CVS documentation somewhere.... Thanks to Andrew's suggestion, I have isolated my problem with CVS client mode to NT's rsh performing NL to CRNL translation. This caused the following error message: ' from cvs serverning: unrecognized response `ok which is really: ... warning: unrecognized response `ok' from cvs server due to a CR. I attempted to build rsh with gnu-win32, but it was harder than I expected (ie, too many compiler problems to track down). Does anyone have a binary version of rsh built with gnu-win32 b18? I would like to test it with my build of CVS to see if it enables CVS client mode to function properly.
