References: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Ummm...cvs-1.11.0-x does NOT use or create .pag files. .pag/.dir files (the standard filename endings for ndbm-style databases) do not work on FAT drives, so I hacked cvs to use gdbm-style databases, and name them "foo.db" (one file) and NOT "foo.pag/foo.dir" (two files). You must be using an old version of cvs. Carefully read the release announcement of cvs-1.11.0-x in cygwin-announce for instructions on upgrading from older version of cvs on cygwin (hint: you have to migrate your .pag/.dir files using conv2gdbm). --Chuck Jeff Lu wrote: > > I'm on version 1.1.6.1 and am having problem with gdbm functions.
