Hello,

Apologies for being so negative, but I am completely exasperated. I simply 
want to set up CVSNT and then use it with Eclipse -- both of them on the 
same XP Home-based PC. And I have spent the last eight hours trying to do 
this, without success.

Why is this so difficult?

I think a major part of the problem is that all of the documentation I can 
find on the Web relates to OLD versions of CVSNT. There are THREE extra tabs 
on the newer versions of CVSNT control panel applet and I can find no 
thorough explanation -- or even consistent terminology -- relating to the 
settings in these!

So can anyone PLEASE help me by simply telling me:

1) what version of CVSNT do you recommend I use with Eclipse?
2) how the fields that must be set in the CVSNT control panel applet relate 
to those in Eclipse's "CVS Repository Location" set-up dialog box?
3) how do I set up pserver accounts with CVSNT -- because Eclipse only 
allows connection types of pserver, ext and extssh?

Thanks in anticipation.

Frank
