You could do the following for testing: Install the latest CVSNT server on a different PC than your real server, for example your own workstation. Create a test repository on it. Copy a module from your real server (copy the xxx,v files) to the test server Now experiment with the edit cycles on a sandbox checked out from this test server. You will be using your real RCS files (copies) so any issue with the existing data would come up.

Updated the client, and issue remains. Unluckily I can't take the server offline for a day and work on it right now. (Last time I tried to update it was offline for a day, I was busy for a day, and in the end I had to go back anyway...) Maybe somebody can try this sequence with a newer server? So that we at least know whether the newer clients don't work with older servers anymore?
