I would at least want to start working with CVSNT, but I can not even able to import the old RCS repository from CS-RCS application. I did read, that since CS-RCS uses the RCS inside. Advices says, RCS and CVS are different mainly in their directory structure. So I should copy the repository tree simply into the CVSROOT. Then I need to do a checkout according to the advices. That's the point when the checkout failed. I tried an rcs2cvs converter, however I was not able to make it work under Windows. That's the current situation. Any advices?
