We need to study how CVS is working on MacOS. If you can provide any information about what CVS Server is used, can be a help for us.

Running the 'cvs' command with no options says:

The Concurrent Versions System (CVS) is a tool for version control.
For CVS updates and additional information, see
Cyclic Software at http://www.cyclic.com/ or
Pascal Molli's CVS site at http://www.loria.fr/~molli/cvs-index.html

One possible problem is the use of some Windows conventions in one of the paths. Here is the generated command for a checkout on my Mac OS X system with DW MX:

cvs -d :ext:jhart@cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/exssi checkout -d "\tmp\exssi" "exssi" >/tmp/out.txt 2>/tmp/err.txt

Note that the destination path has backslashes in it. Mac OS X (or Unix/Linux, in general) interprets these as "escape" characters. Since escaping a letter does nothing, the effective result is that "\tmp\exssi" becomes "tmpexssi".

cvs is available directly from within the operating system on Mac OS X (at least with the free Developer Tools installed)... all we would need would be a way to invoke connections to any cvs repository using the built-in cvs command like in the example posted by jhart above.

We know, we have tried to do it, but DW API Exec Command is not working on MacOS on the same way as working on Windows. So unfortunatelly we cannot execute CVS executable if DW exec command is not working. We still study a way to do it.
