Normally an import of a source tree is just that, the files are registered with CVS. To start working you must check out this module to a new *empty* location. Trying to check out on top of the original source tree fails because there are already files there and CVS will never replace a file not under version control.

But it takes some setup inside the bloated VS6 IDE to make it run properly. You must also install a number of other Microsoft tools like the proper SDK:s.

Sorry, but I have not changed this instruction page in a while and a *few* things have changed since the last time I edited it unfortunately. Don't have time now to update it though since I am lagging behind with my servers so I don't have the needed expertise.... /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
