RE: (newbie) WinCVS also a server?

[Mazza, Glen R., ,CPMS]

But WinCVS (http://www.wincvs.org) is *not* the "Windows distribution of
CVS" (from http://www.cvshome.org/), correct?  WinCVS is apparently just a
third-party client.  I think the limited functionality you mention is that
of the Windows CVS server distribution from the latter link above.

Hi,
        The Windows and Macintosh distributions of CVS are generally limited
in functionality. They can all act as clients, meaning that they can contact
a repository server to obtain a working copy, commit, update, and so on. But
they can't serve repositories themselves. If you set it up right, the
Windows port can use a local-disk repository, but it still can't serve
projects from that repository to other machines. In general, if you want to
have a network-accessible CVS repository, you must run the CVS server on a
Unix box. 

regards,
Amit Sharma

Hello,

Is WinCVS only a client for accessing a CVS server or can it also function
as a server (repository) itself?  I'm currently using it as a client to
access a server remotely but am unsure if it has more capabilities.  I think
that, in general, when we refer to CVS server software we referring just to
the software that is downloaded from http://www.cvshome.org/.  Correct?

Thanks,
Glen
