Because it is a port to NT which does a very good job of working within
the NT framework including a very nice GUI. There is a Windows client
version of cvs (a command-line cvs.exe) available, but most of the
cvshome.org developers do not spend much time doing anything with
windows.
If you need or want a server for NT, then you will want to use the
CvsNT.org version of NT.

No, they are a different team.

The CvsNT.org version of cvs interoperates with the cvshome.org version
of cvs. The cvsnt.org folks have a few extensions that are not (yet)
supported on cvshome.org and are missing a few that have recently been
added.

Well, some questions get answered for both versions on the
address@hidden those that deal with the intersection of features
between the two versions could be answered by either group.

Yes, I believe that is a 'better' place to ask your NT specific questions.
