I did, but I had problems installing it. I can't remember exactly what the problem was now, I've tried so many things and come up against so many errors it's all a haze. I do remember that I didn't manage to get it working at all though (and yes, I did install the relevant stuff for it too). I did manage to get CVSWeb working, but the annotate feature on that was broken. However, I will go through the script for ViewCVS to see how its generating the annotate page and hopefully see if there's a clue as to what I'm doing wrong.
