You don't, cvs uses an internal diff. But you can easily extract two versions from cvs and run whatever diff tool you like on them. I believe tortoisecvs and similar GUI tools offer this service more or less built-in. -- Daniel Stenberg -- http://www.rockbox.org/ -- http://daniel.haxx.se/

First time you ask tortoise to diff, it asks you for a diff tool binary. Wincvs as well is able to take another differ, but may not be suitable if you've been speaking about vimdiff. lImbus

Hehe, you got my point... yes, I like vim a lot, but I'm not yet so die-hard to use it also in Windows.
