Errors

Cannot locate achive for workfile

C:\MyFolder>get -t -u U:\Archive\script.bld-arc[C:\MyFolder\Source]
PVCS Version Manager (get) v6.7.10 (Build 915) for Windows NT/80x86
Copyright 1985-2001 MERANT.  All rights reserved.
get: warning, cannot locate archive for workfile "U:\Archive\script.bld-arc[C:\MyFolder\Source]".

The command means that the archive file U:\Archive\script.bld-arc must be written to C:\MyFolder\Source. This has been verified on another computer.

Checklist

• Does the file exists on the U drive?
• This can be checked by writing the line below. If it says 'File not found' the file does not exist.

  type U:\Archive\script.bld-arc
  

• Does the command execute without errors when run without parameters? Yes. Don't know if this is okay
• Suggestion from here:

PVCS isn't present in the CLASSPATH environment variable in your 
current login.  If the installation went well this should fix 
itself if you log out and log back in, or restart the computer.

No idea how to fix this yet
