I'm trying to install on a win2k server machine.

Using gserver from a windows machine I can do an import
but then can't do an immediate checkout.

First did it with 2.0.4, then with 2.1.1. Then uninstalled,
rebooted and reinstalled following 
http://w1.858.telia.com/~u85831169/InstallCVSNT.html very
closely.

If it were a linux/unix machine I could strace the server
to see what it thinks it is doing. Is there some equivalent
on win2k? Or some way to make the lock service leave some
log of what it is doing?
