CVS checkout

Hello Dave,

I am trying to checkout pgAdmin II files from CVS from the WinCVS command line:

****************************************************************************
****************************************************************************
*******
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.social-housing.org:/disk1/cvsroot/pgadmin2 (in
directory F:\pgadmin2)
Usage: cvs [cvs-options] command [command-options-and-arguments]
   where cvs-options are -q, -n, etc.
     (specify --help-options for a list of options)
   where command is add, admin, etc.
     (specify --help-commands for a list of commands
      or --help-synonyms for a list of command synonyms)
   where command-options-and-arguments depend on the specific command
     (specify -H followed by a command name for command-specific help)
   Specify --help to receive this message

The Concurrent Versions System (CVS) is a tool for version control.
For CVS updates and additional information, see
     the CVS home page at http://www.cvshome.org/ or
     Pascal Molli's CVS site at http://www.loria.fr/~molli/cvs-index.html

*****CVS exited normally with code 1*****

Any idea?

Regards,
Jean-Michel

It looks to me like it thinks you've got the command line wrong. Does WinCVS
work? Also, I must create you a writeable CVS account... I'll get back to
you on that.
