Hi Will,

Replying to a message of Will Honea to Sarah Nunez:

 WH> Sara, I assume you really mean CVS.  If so, get a copy of jCVS from
 WH> http://www.jcvs.org/ and go with that.  It's a Java gui
 WH> implementation of CVS that takes much of the grief out of the
 WH> Unix-ese needed to run the command line CVS.  Runs with Java 1.1.8 or
 WH> 1.3.x.  The command line is great once you learn it but I can never
 WH> remember all the gotchas with update/checkout/commit <g>.

Does this work with both Sourceforge's and Netlabs' servers? At least one of 
them, perhaps both, is very picky about which CVS implementations it talks to.

There might also be an OS/2 port of Cervisia, the LINUX GUI front-end to CVS. 
This would be far preferable to Java bloatware. I might take a look around for 
this, as I dislike the CVS commands too.

 WH> If you really meant CSV, then disregard all prior babbling.

It's CVS, as the code comes from Sourceforge.

Regards

Dave
