[cvsnt] cvsnt for word doc version control

That was what I was trying to ask.....

If you use CVS via WinCvs or Tortoise and you have WinMerge selected as
your external diff program, then it "just works".  At least it does if
you have paid-for CVSNT.  I think I've tried OS WinMerge at home and
found it Just Didn't Work, and is not listed on the WinMerge website.
Over to Glen, Arthur or Tony to confirm whether the plug-in is actually
only available as part of CVS Suite or whether it's freely available
elsewhere.
Glen's answer included in Bo's posting below does suggest it's
availability is restricted to the Suite.

Unhelpfully,
Probably,
Richard.

But have these plug-ins been developed by MarchHare outside of open
source or are they supplied from somewhere else??
In other words are the plug-ins freely available?

I have been using WinMerge for several years and I have not seen such
a plug-in anywhere.

And in what way are they pluggable into cvs?
Do we need to separately check out the two versions of say a Word
document an then push them into WinMerge to see the differences??
Or is there some other way?
