Limitations Of The Windows And Macintosh Versions
-------------------------------------------------

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.
