<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">I already downloaded CVSNT from www.cvsnt.org but was mislead by some statements on the www.cvshome.org and the IBM WebSphere Redbooks. I believed it couldn't be used in a network environment but for local use only (to test it).</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">examples:</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">1)CVSHOME :</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New"> http://www.cvshome.org/dev/codewindow.html (first 2 par.)</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">There are two ways to run CVS on Windows 95/NT. The first is as a client, talking to a CVS server on a Unix box. This is the recommended setup and is commonly used.</font>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">The second way is known as "local" or "non-client/server" CVS. This lets you run CVS if you have only Windows machines. However, due to issues (a) with local CVS on Windows, and (b) with the suitability of Windows as a server operating system in general, we would generally recommend this more to try out CVS and get a feel for it rather than for production use. </font>

<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> 2) IBM Redbook</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> somewhat same text +</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> "...CVS providers generally recommend using the 2nd option only if you are evaluating CVS to get to nkow its functionality and not for production use..."</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
a bit confusing, at least for my. Furthermore I asked same question to "webmaster@cvshome.org", who didn't even reply!<br>
