Dear Arthur, > At a minimum any professional using CVSNT should have the CVSNT > eBook / CVS Suite written by the authors of CVSNT: > http://march-hare.com/cvsnt/features/book/ I checked this page out and see that the book costs $147.00, but there's no link to purchase it. I found my way to http://march-hare.com/products/ , but the book isn't mentioned there, so I can't find how to buy it. > You may also be interested in this FAQ: > http://march-hare.com/cvspro/faq/faq9.asp#9cb > Why does March Hare charge for CVS Suite? > March Hare Software charges for CVS Suite for several reasons, the > top three are: > 1.

CVS Suite solves this problem by matching a version of > the documentation with versions of the software in a single > package. The situation is this: My client hadn't planned on using version control, so it's not part of the project. I've convinced them to use VC, but they still don't have anything in the budget for it. Thus, they can't use VSS, which would be their reflexive choice. So I've recommended CVSNT, and I'm now trying to figure out how to get it configured for them so it's easy to use. If they like it, then they may purchases licenses for the next project. In the meantime, it doesn't make sense for me to purchase a single user license to CVS Suite, since then I wouldn't be using the same software my client is using, so that wouldn't work.
