Rene,
I've entered what you suggeted and WinCVS said:
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@boost.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/boost init
cvs init: Empty password used - try 'cvs login' with a real password
cvs [server aborted]: "init" requires write access to the repository
What should I do next?
I _don't_need_ write-access, actually.
My target is only to get current versions of some files (w/o checking them out) and check what files from repository differ from my local copies.
Thanks,
Alex.

Hi! I need read-only access to boost repositiry.
I've downloaded and installed WinCVS+Python but cannot open the repository. In Remote->Init Settings->CVSROOT I've checked it and entered:
pserver:anonymous@boost.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/boost
and the response was:
cvs -d pserver:anonymous@boost.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/boost init [...] What's wrong?
According to http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=7586 the CVSROOT needs to be ":pserver:anonymous@boost.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/boost". I.e. you missed the ":" at the front.
