[fossil-users] GUI client for Windows?

2011-10-05 Thread Gilles
Hello I'd like to use a fat GUI client instead of the CLI or the web UI, so checked out GUI clients for Windows. Since I can't stand Java, I didn't try jurassic-fossil. Apparently, the only alternative for Windows is Ingo Koch's WinFossil. http://repository.mobile-developers.de/cgi-bin/ikoch/sh
