What is VSSExtractor/Cserver ?

It's a client/server application for converting a Microsoft SourceSafe 
repository to CVS.
It comes into two parts : VSSExtractor, a win32 client program which 
extracts data from SourceSafe database and relays it to the second part,
CServer, a Linux/Unix server program which gathers data and builds
a new CVS repository.
The client/server application provides a fully operational solution
for migrating a project to CVS, configurable through an XML file.

so that there is very few documentation and support material
