RE: automated rollback tag

[Shawn Matlock]

I (finally) created a CVSNT server instance on my pc to test this. I
normally use TortoiseCVS as the client. Can I use it for this? If not,
what are my choices? In either case, where can I find out how to do it? 

(If this isn't the right forum to ask, please point me in the right
direction.)

Thank you,
Shawn
