I use CVS for a variety of small and large code projects. I've used in a big projects in the past, in which we had about 6 contractors (20 programmers total) all working on the code, and lately I've used it for small 2-3 person projects. It has windows versions. It is designed to be set up with the code repository on a Unix or Linux machine, and then you can get a working copy of the code and work with it, merge changes, commit, etc from any machine with any OS (there's even a browser java interface). But you can make everything reside on the windows machine with no Unix server, or even no network, if you want. There is a command line interface and about a dozen different point-and-click interfaces, and it has been integrated into some of the IDE's out there. I have used the emacs interface and the command line interfaces. It's free. (Well, almost free -- the time to set it up and learn it has to be worth something.) Here's the home page: http://www.cvshome.org You can get started and figure out %95 of what you will ever need by reading the first ten ot twenty pages of the downloadable manual (the one written by Pers Cederqvist). If you try it out (it's free) and have problems, feel free to email me and I'll help if I can -- I use Linux exclusively though, so for windows-specific stuff you will have to consult the mailing lists and newsgroups. I think some companies out there sell commercial support for it, but you should be able to get full use out of it without paying any money. --Rob P.S. The best way to install and try it out, in my opinion, is if you know someone who had a copy of this book or the cd that came with it (it's ok to copy this cd, it's licensed under the GPL): http://www.gnu.org/order/windows.html If you install "everything" on that CD, it puts about 170 Mb in a single directory (very easy to uninstall, no secrete files in various places or registry stuff, just delete that directory) and it gives you emacs, perl, the gcc c compiler, cvs, a bash shell, and a host of other unix utilities. My last copy of that CD is now too scratched to install properly, and the book is out of print until they do a new edition, so I'm searching around for a good copy of that CD somewhere. >>>>> "D" == D Lloyd writes: D> D> Hi, D> I may have asked about this before but times change and people (er, D> me) get more annoyed with the tool they are currently using.....
