RE: Environment variable: CVSWRAPPERS

[Bulgrien, Kevin]

So far, I have been unable to get anything out of the use of a CVSWRAPPERS
environment variable...  I cannot seem to set it to a fully qualified path
and file name, a relative path/filename, a filename, a wrappers definition,
etc.   I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, or if the CVSWRAPPERS environment
variable even does anything in cvs-1.11.1p1-8.7 .  So far, the only results
that work seem to be to use CVSROOT/cvswrappers, or .cvswrappers in a
particular directory.

Can anyone supply more detail than is provided in the manual?
