You will never know if you don't give it  chance! ;)

I don't know the Mac customs in that regard, but the idea is to 
actually
separate CVS binary and the GUI, thus effectively making it two 
separate
applications. This works very well with WinCvs where we call CVSNT 
installer
after we're done with ours.

BTW: The migration to new CVSROOT handling means that CVSROOT is 
reduced to
be a simple text entry rather than a center around which the settings
revolve. That also means that it's backwards-compatible and you don't 
need
CVSNT for making that migration. Of course it makes things more 
difficult to
setup CVSROOT without the help of some sort of wizard - so it's better 
to
make both things together.

Best Regards,
Jerzy
