Work from whatever is easiest for you. There are applications on both platforms that can do the conversion. Personally, I work *daily* with CVS from the following systems: Linux Solaris MacOS 9 MacOS X Beta 2 Win98 > - Is setting up the SSH stuff easier to do for Unix or NT? Unix, by far. All you need to do is set your CVS_RSH=/path/to/ssh ie: CVS_RSH=/usr/bin/ssh Then, just pretend that you aren't even using SSH. :-) On Win, I use TeraTerm with the SSH stuff and then setup a tunnel. There are directions on the jakarta site. > - I have Cygwin on my NT that I currently use to pull Ant from CVS, > but the committer info talks about WinCVS -- do I need that, > or can I continue to use the CVS I have, if I do end up working > from the NT? That is like asking if you should use lynx or netscape. They are all just CVS clients and will work just fine. Personally, I like WinCVS more than command line CVS. thanks, -jon -- Honk if you love peace and quiet.
