Hi,
        The Windows and Macintosh distributions of CVS are generally limited
in functionality. They can all act as clients, meaning that they can contact
a repository server to obtain a working copy, commit, update, and so on. But
they can't serve repositories themselves. If you set it up right, the
Windows port can use a local-disk repository, but it still can't serve
projects from that repository to other machines. In general, if you want to
have a network-accessible CVS repository, you must run the CVS server on a
Unix box. 

regards,
Amit Sharma

Subject: (newbie) WinCVS also a server?


Hello,

Is WinCVS only a client for accessing a CVS server or can it also function
as a server (repository) itself?  I'm currently using it as a client to
access a server remotely but am unsure if it has more capabilities.  I think
that, in general, when we refer to CVS server software we referring just to
the software that is downloaded from http://www.cvshome.org/.  Correct?

Thanks,
Glen
