As a final before-bed-experiment I reset the Workspaceviewer by
deleting the March-Hare registry keys from HKCU. Then I started it and
added the CVSNT server using my own pserver login there. I specified
/usr/local/cvs as the Directory.

Browsing now results in the same noname top folder appearing but when
I expand it I get the 5 modules I think you have there listed.

My first test was just to add CVSNT but then it expanded with folders
from POLARIS and CVSSERVER too. After the registry reset it behaved
better. Should really be a server delete function within the viewer
and also a property page...
