Give tortoisecvs a try. I personally prefer it to wincvs. http://www.tortoisecvs.org/download.shtml
After trying both (and eclipse), i came up with the conclusions: eclipse is the easiest (so use it if using eclipse) tortoise provides nice shell integration that gives an almost 'human' perspective on cvs. wincvs gives a gui interface to the command line tools, with lots of menus etc. As i had no real cvs knowledge, wincvs confused me! I found tortoise far far easier to use. Daniel. > -----Original Message----- > From: Frank W. Zammetti [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 05 January 2005 22:35 > To: David G.
