I installed CVS on Win XP system from the download for Windows
(cvs-1-11-2.zip). I created a local a repository, imported a set of
development files, and updated them.

When I attempt to commit my changes I receive:


L:\test\Tss>cvs commit -m mod1
cvs [commit aborted]: your apparent username (user1) is unknown to this
system

I suspect I left out some environment option. Any thoughts how to get by
this would be appreciated.

Update:

I downloaded the source to CVS 1.11 and build the binary of this version.
My locally built version of CVS-1.11 executes the commit function correctly.
It kind of suggests that the Windows binary of CVS-1.11.2 contains an
incompatibility with my environment (XP). Bless those that distribute
source.

Thanks
