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.
Thanks,
Jason
