WinCVS uses cvsnt, so they're basically the same except WinCVS is prettier :) Also try TortoiseCVS which is quite easy to use. > My problem is illustrated as: > > C:\tmp>set > CVSROOT=:pserver:darin at 172.16.20.119:/home/cvs/genecodes/seqcolreplacement > C:\tmp>cvs login > Logging in to > :pserver:darin at 172.16.20.119:2401:/home/cvs/genecodes/seqcolreplacement > CVS password: > > After entering my password, I don't get a command prompt back; > the behavior I observer is similar to what "cat > /dev/null" does The connection to the server isn't happening... either the server isn't listening or there's a routing problem.
