[snip]
***** CVS exited normally with code 0 *****

cvs -z3 checkout -P Release_1_2_0 (in directory G:\Torque04)
cvs server: cannot find module 'Release_1_2_0' - ignored
cvs95 [checkout aborted]: cannot expand modules

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

You're going for the latest version of it? So, take the HEAD. This will work and it is the absolut latest version of it.

Looks to me as though you aren't specifying the revision tag, but are instead telling it to check out something called "Release_1_2_0"

your checkout string should look something like this:
cvs -z3 -d :pserver:blah@cvs.garagegames.com:/cvs/torque login 
Logging in to :pserver:blah@cvs.garagegames.com:2401/cvs/torque

***** CVS exited normally with code 0 *****

cvs -z3 update -P -d -r Release_1_2_0 (in directory G:\Torque04)

Use of CVS is covered very well here:

!@#!@#$#$^%$%&%^*^*(!!!!!!!

hmm well after success a few weeks ago downloading 1.2, I tried today to d/l the HEAD and each time WinCVS has locked up my system near the end of the download. I have followed the fine manual to the letter but each time WinCVS crashes before its all done. At this point, the CVS server has locked me out due to the bandwidth limitation so I'm SOL...

Is there any way to acquire the source via FTP rather than CVS?

CVS is the only option. Thousands of people are using it. We can reset the bandwidth.

Be sure and use the very latest version of WinCVS 1.3.x it is much more stable than 1.2 series.

Strange - This morning I re-installed WinCVS 1.3.13.2 (same version I tried yesterday) and logged in. This time it appeared to finish the d/l before giving me a 'Bill Gates Blue Screen' i.e. a fatal exception error. I opened the VC6 project and it compiled fine.

(Gibby hums the theme to 'The Outer Limits')

Well I do have the code thanks, as always for your help. This community 'es mui mui bien'!!!

You could also try using TortoiseCVS. You'd have to figure out how to work it yourself (no official docs), but it's possible it won't crash as much, and I personally find it much more pleasant to work with.

Gibby, just out of curiosity, what OS are you using?

@Ben:

Thanks for the tip regarding TortioseCVS, I'll check it out (so to speak)

@Gonzo:

I'm having this issue with WinCVS on Win2k. I haven't had trouble with MacCVS on my OS9.2 G4...

Thanks again
