Hi Trent

Thank you very much for your quick and helpful response.

[Trent] "... GUI requires you to install Windows."
[TechSgin] Not necessarily it can be developed using Qt - which is a C++
cross platform open source (Dual license) framework. They have their own
cross platform builder which is very fancy and intuitive called "Qt
Creator".

Many Thanks
TechSgin

First of all, you need to understand that unlike Subversion and CVS,
distributed VCSs don't support "subtree checkouts".  While you can have
a single repository "x" that contains a bunch of different projects
"x/a", "x/b" and "x/c", there's no way to say "I just want a checkout of
x/a" -- you have to checkout the entire repository "x".

What most people do, therefore, is make "x/a", "x/b" and "x/c" separate
repositories.  That does make it a bit tedious when you want to create a
checkout of the entire tree "x/" -- usually one writes a little helper
script for that.

I'm not aware of any actively maintained graphical interface for all of
Darcs.  There are various wrappers for pieces of functionality
(e.g. deps.pl or darcs-whatsnew.el).  I hear that TortoiseDarcs will be
under active development again shortly, but I assume that GUI requires
you to install Windows.
