Steven,

No, it's still not working. After I logging in (using NOSAC) I went to
an OS/2 commandline. In the commandline I switched to my working
directory for the NetLabs DDK extensions (D:\CVS_Download\ddk2). I then
used the CVS command:

CVS checkout ddk2

I've even tried:

CVS checkout -d D:\CVS_Download\ddk2

The response that I got is that the checkout was aborted, because CVS
could not find the specified module or directory (i.e., ddk2). Based on
what I see, I believe that CVS wants me to name a specific file and/or
path to that file in the NetLabs archive for their DDK2 project. My
problem is that the insides of that archive are all invisible to me (as
well as all the other NetLabs archives). I don't know what's there.
Therefore, I cannot supply a filename, module name or path. Am I wrong
here in my interpretation? Any suggestions?
