You can do as follows. 1. Install CVSNT as per the instructions on the CVSNT webpage. (I assume this is already done). Important here is to set up the repositories and prefix and other items in the Control Panel item 2. Install WinCvs 1.3.14.1 as per instructions (Just run the installer normally) 3. Define a connection to your CVSNT server where you use a protocol like sspi (recommended). THis is done in the admin part of WinCvs if it is the first use, otherwise it is part of the checkout dialogue. 4. Check out your sources to a local file set copy (called sandbox). There are a lot of information available on the net for CVS usage, please read a few of them. Links are found among other places on the cvsnt webpage. /Bo On Wed, 17 Dec 2003 12:11:39 -0800 (PST), Shravan Durvasula <s_k_d_23 at yahoo.com> wrote: >Hello Bo: > >Thanks a lot for your immediate response.

The remote machines that talk to my CVSNT server currently have "WINCVS 1.3" as their client. But this needs administrative privileges to be installed. So, is there a client available for CVSNT server that does not need admin privileges to be installed?
