Usually CVSTrac works under Unix/Linux. In official site, there is a document describes how to work under Windows:

(¤http://www.cvstrac.org/cvstrac/wiki?p=CvstracOnWindows)

But is difficult and restrained. So I make this software to help us use cvstrac more easy.

My works:

Compile SQLite and cvstrac under cygwin
Write a NT service CVSTracSvc.exe to start as a service
Write Write CVSTracOption.exe to make configuration more easily
Write CTSender.exe and some plugins for sending ticket notificaition
Manage passwd for CVSNT
Import/Export cvstrac users list
User-defined charset support
Fix a series of problem for CVSNT

Compile Environment:

cygwin-1.5.18.1
sqlite-3.5.9
cvstrac-2.0.1
Delphi 7

Tested Environment:

Windows Server 2003 Stardard Edition
Windows 2000 Server SP4
Windows XP Professtional SP1
CVSNT 2.0.58d/2.5.03 build 2382
