I do not really understand why CVSNT could not be installed. They provide a very nice integration with Windows XP to work as both client and server. > > Unknown command: `server' > ... > (Specify the --help option for a list of other help options) > > Could you please help me to set my CVS server ? I am not a Windows XP user, so I am unable to aid you. You may find it desirable to setup a CVS server on an operating system that is better supported. Such operating systems include (in alphabetical order): FreeBSD, GNU/Linux, NetBSD, and OpenBSD (all of which come with a 'cvs' client already installed). Even such 'proprietary' operating systems as AIX, HP/UX, IRIX, BSDI BSD/OS, and Solaris may have cvs client/server added with very little hassle. > > Thank you > > Cordially, > > Julien QUESTER-SEMEON Good luck, -- Mark -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFER6q6Cg7APGsDnFERAkQbAJ4y3hvoS2yc85Z75v0Lux5MLWmGvgCaAwJx usfflsfvTorWXjy96xv56DQ=BiMw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Bug-cvs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-cvs
