	The correct word is "impossible", as services are processes, which 
Win98 does not have.

        Correct.

        If you have a Win98 machine, and want to do single machine 
development...

	To use WinCVS for standalone development, select "create a new 
repository" from the "create" menu.  Check your settings carefully - 
you want local mode with matching path and CVSROOT(pick a new 
directory).  Once you click "OK", your new repository will be created 
and initialized.

	Then, using the "change location" button of the "browse" toolbar, 
select your new repository.  Voila!  Single person development up and 
running!  Enjoy!
