CVS NT just works and works very well, I had used cvs on a Unix/Linux
environment and in the last three years have only used CVS NT and have had
no problems with it supporting a 100+ team using it day and night. 

So keep the guides on for those who can use it effectively and do not remove
useful information just because one person says there are issues ...

Dear 'macpherson',
the installation guide you refer to is written by me (unrelated to
CVSNT, I'm just an ordinary user trying to feed back) more than one
year ago because I saw so many questions concerning how to actually
set up the CVSNT server. It was at that time particularly a problem on
the NT4 platform.
I published it 'as-is' and I don't maintain it actively to follow all
ane every small changes there is to the CVSNT program.

I don't accept accusations like yours and therefore tonight I will
take the guide off the air. Then you will have to make do with
whatever other information you may find relevant.
Please realize that you pay zero money for the excellent product that
compares to commercial products that cost many thousands of dollars in
even a small company setup. This is an open source project.

I think tou are grossly out of line with your comments.
And it seems like you don't even dare publish your own name to
boot....
