Hello Erik, did you tried my SmartCVS ( www.smartcvs.com )? It comes in two versions, a free Foundation version and a commercial Professional version. Even the latter one comes with a much better feature set (especially for CVS novices), than any other (free) competitor on the market, that require you to be a CVS freak.
For example, SmartCVS allows you to simply add files, you need not to worry to add the surrounding directories before the files, you need not to worry whether they are binary or text files. SmartCVS decides it for you. In the Professional version, you can run the Status command and the command line output (that you have to read in the free competitors) is automatically parsed to set the virtual file's "Remote state" attribute, that is displayed in the file table. Just two reasons, why to take a look at SmartCVS. But there is one general problem with binary files like Word or Excel: you can't merge them with any CVS client! If you and another developer changed one, it will occur a conflict.
