I don't think so. It's a fairly standard perl script that uses normal CVS commands to examine the files. It does need direct access to the repository, but that's only to find the files to be checked, it doesn't directly access the contents of the repository files as far as I know. It runs "cvs rlog" to get the revision history for each file and then runs "cvs co" on the "interesting" revisions (the root of the trunk and the tip of every other branch); as long as the checkouts work, the file is considered OK. CVSNT is mostly compatible with CVS as far as the command line and output go, so I'd say there's a good chance of it working fine. It's certainly worth a try. -Larry Jones It's going to be a long year. -- Calvin
