David, Just to be clear CVSNT is a Unix/Linux based system (that also runs on windows).
CVSNT has some features that CVS doesn't like mergepoints/audit/changesets/lockserver etc etc. Regards, Arthur Barrett -----Original Message----- From: CARTER-HITCHIN, David, GBM [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 30 May 2006 11:26 PM To: Arthur Barrett; info-cvs@gnu.org Subject: RE: old fileattr files - safe to delete? Hi Arthur, Again thanks for the interest. We're mainly a UNIX/Linux based operation, but there are some windows users out there (poor souls).
