You have to do a cvs-checkout into a separate directory on the server, 
and then perform a cvs-update every time a client does a commit.  In 
UN*X you can do the checkout on a cron job periodically.  In Windows I 
think you can use cygwin to set up a cron job as well.  You could also 
abuse the "loginfo" script so that after every commit the server runs a 
"cvs update" in you checked-out directory.  See
