The CVSRC file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the CVSRC files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the CVSRC file on each system platform.

How to open CVSRC file?
The main problem with TortoiseCVS CVS Command is that the CVSRC file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file CVSRC to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CVSRC file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install TortoiseCVS
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that TortoiseCVS is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing TortoiseCVS into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open CVSRC files.
Programs to open CVSRC file
Remember to download programs supporting CVSRC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of TortoiseCVS with CVSRC files
If, despite the installed application, the CVSRC file does not start in the TortoiseCVS application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the CVSRC file with the TortoiseCVS program.
Step 3. Update TortoiseCVS to the latest version
If, however, after binding TortoiseCVS with TortoiseCVS CVS Command there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CVSRC file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to CVSRC files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CVSRC file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CVSRC files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the CVSRC file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CVSRC files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CVSRC files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move CVSRC to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CVSRC file again. However, some background programs may block the CVSRC file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
