CVSNT is a variant implementation of CVS -- they're mostly interchangeable from a user perspective. The key difference is that CVS was originally designed for a Unix-like environment, the vast majority of the development work is done in Unix-like environments, and it isn't built or tested in a Windows environment very often (or very well). CVSNT started with CVS but then added some Windows-specific features and has subsequently added non-Windows-specific features as well and now supports non-Windows environments, too. It is built and throughly tested on Windows. WinCVS is a GUI that runs on top of some CVS implementation -- it is happy to work with either CVS or CVSNT. For convenience, CVSNT is bundled with WinCVS when you download it. As others have mentioned, TortoiseCVS (<http://www.tortoisecvs.org/>) is another GUI that runs on top of some CVS implementation, but I don't know whether they bundle a CVS implementation with it or not. As far as I know, Eclipse is similar in that it interfaces with some CVS implementation and should be happy with either CVS or CVSNT. -Larry Jones I must have been delirious from having so much fun. -- Calvin _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list Info-cvs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
