I'm looking for a CVS server for UNIX, specifically for Solaris 8 x86, and also for Windows NT other than CVSNT. Thanks!

Have a look at SVN. Its open-source (and free) and is very-very easy to use and setup on multiple platforms. Available at http://subversion.tigris.org And a FANTASTIC windows client(integrated with windows explorer) is available at http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org (I hope I got the url right)
Cheers.

I'm not quite comfortable with SVN yet, looks very impressive but havn't be proved by any real world project yet. I suggest using CVS or perforce (commercial). I use CVS at home alot, I lik e it very much, but I have to admit, it does lack of many useful features.

Subversion is a very interesting improvement for the current CVS. And its got a nice tools portfolio already. When it gets into the mainstream I'd sure be switching to it.

To actualy answer your question: CVS for all platforms is available from the CVS web site at http://www.cvshome.org/ . For Windows, specifically, the best thing to do is to install Cygwin which includes CVS and lots of other goodies.

Huh? Where do you get this from?

I have been asking around on irq. So far, the only site that uses it is tigris site itself. Unless you can give me another one.

o, wow, I did missed it completely. I need to look into it more. CVS is working very well for me right now, so I prolly won't switch until later. As a matter of fact, I'm working on a java enhanced (wrapper) for csv to help me with some common but lacking features of CVS.

Since I don't do development on NT so I can't really help you. But I remember along time ago, I checked if there is a NT version, it seems that the NT version only support local depository. Meaning no remote log on etc. I believe there is a patch for it, but not from CVShome.org.
