Re: [Boost-users] Read-only access to boost repository via WinCVS

An addition.
In Admin->Login I entered server path ":pserver:anonymous_at_[hidden]:/cvsroot/boost"
and just pressed "Ok" w/o entering password, when prompted:

us_at_[hidden]:/cvsroot/boost login 
Logging in to :pserver:anonymous_at_[hidden]:2401:/cvsroot/boost
***** CVS exited normally with code 0 *****

So, it looks like I've logged in correctly. How should I get to remote boost repository tree now? 
Thanks, 
Alex.
