Which products would that be? If you're alluding to the ViewCvs/WebCvs
issues reported lately, there were fixes to them within *days* from both
Tony *and* the ViewCvs team. Tony even went to lengths writing an RCS
emulation layer for those that didn't just upgrade their ViewCvs
installation.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't remember you ever saying anything useful
about the "clients don't work" issue. Maybe we could help you at that point?

DOS? Now you're getting outright infantile...

You didn't get the point. The crying (or "ass-kissing" as you prefered to
call it in your other post) was about people who *successfully* installed
CVSNT based on Bo's instructions who thus wanted to prevent him from taking
the docs off the net just because *you* weren't successful with them. Bo
himself outlined under which circumstances those docs came into existence
and that they currently /are/ not up to date. Just take a look at the state
of the official Cederqvist wrt up-to-date-ness. That's what *I* call
pathetic. If it takes them years(!) to even add one minor new feature they
still couldn't be bothered to put it in the docs?! Well, they're of course
still better than the majority of Open Source documentation out there which
is simply non-existant at all... go figure...

Huh? A new release with the installer issue fixed was out within the next
day(!). Doesn't look like ignoring the issue to me at all! How many open
source projects do *you* know that offer this kind of response time?

It also doesn't take even so much as finishing elementary school to see why
you were banned for the comments in your other post... so long...
