Thanks for the reply, Noel. I *welcome* the opportunity to at least talk about this.

I didn't think you could use client/server mode on Win32 without using CVSNT. And all of the warnings about it kept me from doing that when :local: worked fine (at least until now. :) ). Also, for someone ignorant of the differences, what is it you like better? Or, if there is already a list somewhere, just direct me to that (I've seen statements like this in the Cederqvist also, but I've never seen them explained). > Also, IIRC, there's a fork mode that makes local mode > behave like client/server mode.

CVS 1.11.2 gave me this error when trying to use :fork: cvs commit: CVSROOT is set to use the :fork: access method but your cvs commit: CVS executable doesn't support it. cvs [commit aborted]: Bad CVSROOT: `:fork:e:\cvs'. On reflection, this is because the Win32 binary is client only, i.e. the (client) after the 1.11.2 above, and therefore doesn't support the remote protocol even in its :fork: form (now that I think about it, this is also why I've always used :local: on my W2K boxes). > One more thing, I don't recall a cvs-1.11.1.3 ever > being released although I could very well be wrong. > Have you seen the problem with cvs-1.11.1p1?

I don't know how they built it, where it came from, etc. I only tried it on a whim (I don't use WinCVS). My other problem is that I don't have Visual C++, so I can't compile CVS from source, which I would need to do to try 1.11.1p1 (I see the source on CVSHOME, but not the binary). So, I can only use :local: with the Win32 client. Using CVSNT requires me to set up a service, etc., which is overkill for what I'm trying to accomplish. I'd really just like to see the bug fixed, but I don't even know if it is a bug; that's why I posted here.
