CVS doesn't have a checkout notion for individual files. You can
checkout a whole project, but that just gets the selected version from
the repositiory and puts it on your local system. To change files, you
just change them. At update time, CVS tells you what's changed, and
from time to time, you commit your changes back to the database.
The CodeWarrior VCS API was originally designed for Visual SourceSafe,
which does do checkout/checkin. However, the CVS plugin does work for
the CVS system.
You should still use another CVS program along with this for global
management of your local store. WinCVS is the primary one used on the
Windows platform. www.wincvs.org.
