Well, sort of... they provide 2 lines of example, which don't help if you can't figure out what "module" means. I was looking around for lists of modules, files with module in the name, a modules directory... Trying things like '*' and 'all' for module names... no luck, and the phone bill clocking up while I messed around. Turns out it's a terminology problem. A module seems to be what I would call a directory. So eventually, using "rhide" as the module name got me the whole thing. cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/rhide co rhide Pigeon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
