Re: CVSNT versus CVS

[Vinod Damaraju]

Larry,

Thank you for your reply. I do not have control over the CVS version on the
Linux server i.e., cannot upgrade it nor replace it with CVSNT. If I use the
remote CVS server, a signifcant functionality of the conversion tool would
not work. I am looking for specific answers about the changes in repository
file formats between CVSNT and CVS 1.11.xx so that I can account for those
changes in my process ..

Thanks,
Vinod Damaraju
