[cvsnt] Re: More Newbie Questions

[Steve Forsyth]

Tony and everyone else on the list... I feel like I'm spamming the list :)

I ran it from the command line and found out that I needed the other 
supporting files too... doh!

So, now it looks like it runs.. although, I'm not getting back any kind of 
prompt or anything... I enter    "extnt.exe <servername> -l <username> cvs 
server"    and it goes to the next line and either is waiting for me to 
enter something or it is hanging.

Excuse my ignorance, but what exactly should I be expecting when I enter the 
above line :)


I try it in IntelliJ and it the message box looks like it must have 
connected because it says it's "reading data from server" but it looks like 
it is hanging at that point too.

Also, (off topic but relevent to some I guess) IntelliJ is a nice IDE and 
has alot of features but its help sucks and their so called knowledgebase is 
horribly pathetic.
