Your tone of voice in your very first message on this forum really implied otherwise, in fact I sensed an all-out accusation against CVSNT that your selected web browser for CVS did not work! Better direct your flames at the authors of the Chora system or better yet advice them of the proper way to analyze CVSNT repositories. CVSNT has *never* pretended to be an all-out compatible CVS system with GNU CVS. In fact CVSNT *extends* the functionality of GNU CVS and thereby it needs to extend the contents of the RCS files (but all within the accepted syntax standard of RCS files). It is upward compatible, meaning that a GNU CVS repository can be migrated to CVSNT but not necessarily the other way around. The fact that GNU RCS tools (from 1995) do not properly read this is not a fault of CVSNT but of the tools themselves. CVSNT ships (free and open source) with the needed tools to properly analyze the CVSNT version of RCS files and this is exactly what the ViewCvs developers adopted and included in their system (as an option via the viewcvs.conf file). I suggest Chora should do the same. /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
