Re: cvs on NT doen't read password from stdin

[Thomas Bleier]

That is exactly what I want - I want to have an option in my add-on 
that allows the user to log-on, but I want to enter the password in a 
nice dialog and pass it to the CVS binary via stdin...

Anyway, in the meantime I found out that the CVSNT project already 
implements the getpass() function in a way that allows passing the 
password via stdin.
