I opened the control panel and sure enough there were no descriptions
ther. After I added descriptions (different ones for my repos) then
the browsing started to behave sensibly.
My repository is the test one I have been using almost a year now for
various tests with the newest builds. When it was created there was no
Description property available, and I have not added one before now.
Anyway after doing that it works.

I restarted Workspaceviewer and repeated the server addition,
specified sspi as protocol and this time I filled in '/PC' in the
Directory box (probably was 'PC' before). (I did not know what should
be entered here, is it a repository name or what?)
/PC is one of the repositories on that server.
THe Keyword box is left empty, what goes into that?

Now when i expand the still *unnamed* folder below the CVSSERVER name
I get a whole bunch of subfolders displayed (no error message
anymore).
But these folders are not all from the server I am expanding...
In fact most of them are from my local server, but there are a number
of folders from the actual server as well....
Seems like the viewer adds all folders from POLARIS plus some or all
of the folders from CVSSERVER.

I don't know what the requirement is for a server to make it possible
to view like this, but CVSSERVER is running CVSNT 2.0.38 at the
moment. I have lost the ability to establish a Remote Desktop on that
machine via VPN, which I could do until some time ago. So I can't
update it until next year when I travel to the USA.... :-(
