I'm a little unclear trying to follow your scenario. The context menu
diff will only be active for items checked into the CVS server
repository. If you unzipped a file and then thought you could right
click on one of the files from the zip, that won't work as those files
are not part of the CVS repository. However, you can simply open a
Windows command window and run diff from the command line on *any* two
files, regardless of whether they are in a repository or not.

Also, try to be clear in identifying which software you are having
issues with. Your subject mentions cvsnt, but your problem description
deals with WinCvs. The cvsnt client is just a command-line interface to
the corresponding server and has no GUI component.
