[cvsnt] Issues

[Bo Berglund]

You can do as follows.
1. Install CVSNT as per the instructions on the CVSNT webpage. (I
assume this is already done).
Important here is to set up the repositories and prefix and other
items in the Control Panel item

2. Install WinCvs 1.3.14.1 as per instructions (Just run the installer
normally)

3. Define a connection to your CVSNT server where you use a protocol
like sspi (recommended). THis is done in the admin part of WinCvs if
it is the first use, otherwise it is part of the checkout dialogue.

4. Check out your sources to a local file set copy (called sandbox).

There are a lot of information available on the net for CVS usage,
please read a few of them. Links are found among other places on the
cvsnt webpage.
