It is a real pain in the butt and it spams the list. I will remove the many HTML lines at the bottom of this message to make it a bit more manageable.... *************************************************** Hi Bo; Thanks for your reply to my questions. I have found them very informative. I apologize for the html setting on my mail. I have changed my mail format from html to plaintext.

Stay as long away from this idea as possible! They use different compilations of cvs.exe for one thing.... The CVS system works as a client/server system. You install CVS server (CVS-NT in the case of Windows NT) on a server machine, which is sitting in a server room and never touched by human hands (at least seldom). And you install WinCvs on the clients. **************************************************** Bo, Let me include the readme.nt that came in the CVS server for NT Version 1.11.1.2, and then You can maybe see where I came up with the step in question: Here is the section from the readme.nt. Please direct your attention to step 1b in the readme.nt file. Please explain to me what 1b is trying to communicate to the individual installing the CVS server for NT on the server. Thanks, Joel CVS server for NT 1.11.1.2 -------------------------- 1. Installation of the CVS server If you are using the precompiled version installation is simple - just click on the cvsnt.exe installation program. To setup the server use the cvsnt control panel to install the service, then add the locations of your repositories. 1b. Installation of the cvsnt inside the WinCVS application folder (WinCvs 1.3 and higher only) The NT server is supported by WinCVS 1.3b3 or better. copy the cvsnt cvs.exe into WinCvs\cvsnt.exe. copy the cvsnt cvs95.exe into WinCvs\cvs95.exe. In the preference dialog select 'cvsnt/95 (cvsnt server)' 2. Use of the command line client If you are using an NT or Windows 2000 client, use is preferable to use the cvs.exe supplied, as this is full version which supports all features of the NT server. Windows 95/98 clients should use the cvs95.exe, which is a stripped down version. This will not attempt to use NT security procedures or usernames, and so may not be as useful when used with :local: mode (client/server mode is generally unaffected, as authentication is done on the server). <snip> Joel Robert Lemon Information Technology Manager POINT, Inc.
