In the event your comment about being a lowly grad student meant that you can't install the server service either for some reason, then you can but there are risks to your repository (e.g. file corruption). The problem you are seeing probably stems from one of the basic problems with doing what you're trying since I **think** CVSNT uses file based locking automatically when it is in local mode. Make sure by setting the CVSROOT\config appropriately for file locks. Or better yet, use a CVS hosting service to store your CVS files on a real server. There are several in operation last time I looked (e.g. SourceForge, cvsdude, sourcehosting, etc.) but I don't have any experience with any except SourceForge. -- Glen Starrett
