Nick Setting up a cvs repository is going to require you to read lots of docs. My suggestion is you get started. You can read about cvs most likely on your system in /usr/share/doc/cvs/ On my Debian system there is a nice long html manual that goes through everything step by step. I think once you begin reading you will figure out if you have the server binary or not. -- Frank Carmickle phone: 412 761-9568 email: frankiec at dryrose.com
