The GNU rlog is somewhat "stale" now... It was created back in 1995 and has not changed since AFAIK... CVSNT on the other hand is evolving continuously, so it is not very strange to me that at one time there will be problems for old tools to read the new data. >It's obvious that the rlog compiled by cygwin doesn't work with the cvsnt >repository Cygwin is generally not supported by CVSNT.

Which is the only place where you will get any answers at all unless you pay for support to March Hare Ltd. And FWIW, CVSNT is still open source so you can always get the sources and modify it every which way you like to add new features etc.... /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
