[Pythoncard-users] Re: Current state of CVS?

Problem found, and solved (thanks for the help Kevin).

I wasn't checking  code out of cvs properly. This error message was 
caused by my local copy of the code not having the 'components' 
directory. I was doing a 'cvs update' but that doesn't pick up new 
directories that other people have created in the repository.

As usual, google came to the rescue;

http://groups.google.com/groups?q=cvs+new+directory&hl=en&rnum=3&selm=fa.g2cdd4v.on0kqn%40ifi.uio.no

(excuse wrapping)

This prompted me to actually RTFM, and the appropriate flag is '-d', as 
documented here;

http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_16.html#SEC151
