I'll take a look at it when time permits (unfortunately, I was kept  
quite busy in my daytime job recently), but to be honest, if it's more  
than a few lines of code change, I probably won't put the effort in.  
There's still a chance, though, that a small code change will restore  
compatibility.

Another user reported that removing the PythonLib folder resulted in a  
working MacCvsX (albeit without macro support, of course).
It looks like you installed cvsnt as a commandline tool on your  
system, too - there is a known issue where different versions of the  
commandline tool and the one embedded in MacCvsX will result in  
MacCvsX not being able to run it's embedded tool. It's another problem  
I still have to look into - hopefully embedding a newer version of  
cvsnt will solve this...

So, please keep your fingers crossed ;-)
