Windows Version OF CVS

[Jagannathan V]

hi all,
i just am getting my feet into cvs after using vss for some time..
i would want to set up a CVS server on Windows NT..
The lamest question i am going to ask...
how do u set this server up...
:-)
can u point me out where i can download the cvs server Nt version
i downloaded a file called cvs.exe from the cvs site
but i am not able to make head or tail as to whether it is a client or a
server or what ever
response.sendredirect to a good URL is desporately needed   ( yes i am
coding is servlets :-)    )



:-)
