Dear Bo, I have little experience of computer systems let alone CVS. I am an Electronics Engineer and as all good Engineers know they should be able to turn their hands to anything with a bit of thought, effort and occasionally help from others. I was asked to install a version control system that would aid the Software Development Team. I had heard many times people mention this 'God-like' software, simply called CVS. Therefore I trawled through hundreds of references on the internet of 'how to install CVS'. I spent hours trying and trying again to achieve my goal of installing this version control system. And then I found CVS NT. I now have CVS NT, WinCVS and an automated build robot running on a Win2000 server with a mixture of win98, NT and 2000 client machines. All this was achieved with the sterling effort of the many talented and dedicated people who run open source projects for no monetary reward, like yourself. I (and many others) truly appreciate all the effort you put into this project in making it work. All the time you take in answering the questions that get asked again and again. All the time you put in to make sure every reported bug is fixed. All the time you take to implement new ideas. MacPherson is the only person I have seen putting down CVS NT. Perhaps you can be comforted by the fact that you have had 281216 happy visitors since 5th August 2002. I couldn't have achieved today, what I have done, without you, Bo. My sincerest thanks, Mark Hodges. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- As of February 12th, 2003 Thomson unifies its email addresses on a worldwide basis.
