Subject: Re: CVS on VMS hangs after checkout

Like I said, I took the 1.10 code but found that it didn't work. The two problems
were:

1. lstat was undefined.
2. it would checkout a couple of hundred files OK but then fail.

Both of these I fixed and I submitted patches for them both. This patches are
available from http://www.cyclic.com/cvs/dev-port.html (look in the VMS section for
my name).

I'm not aware of Richard's patches. Unless they were already in the 1.10 code that I
downloaded, then I didn't have them.
