Yes, a completely new installation.

I would at least want to start working with CVSNT, but
I can not even able to import the old RCS repository 
from CS-RCS application.

I did read, that since CS-RCS uses the RCS inside.
Advices says, RCS and CVS are different mainly in their
directory structure. So I should copy the repository tree
simply into the CVSROOT.
Then I need to do a checkout according to the advices.

That's the point when the checkout failed.


I tried an rcs2cvs converter, however I was not able 
to make it work under Windows.


That's the current situation.


Any advices?

Thanks,
Webmaster33
