The lock files aren't used anymore by CVSNT, the lock server replaces them. It sounds like you might have an older CVS on your system (it is installed by default on a number of systems). Make sure CVSNT is the *only* CVS on your system. Do a cvs -V to verify. > > My second question relates to something I see on the march-hare website.

You're welcome to try it on your own, but it is only supported for the Professional level and above customers. March Hare can also provide Administrator training and install & configuration for your system so that you know you're getting the best possible setup. Use the March Hare website or email me directly for more information. Regards, -- Glen Starrett
