The CVS tools are a direct port of the usual cvs tools. It's UNIX. The stuff was ported right over....

I won't tell you to go either way (as I hate when people are disappointed by things I suggest), but I can only lead by example :) I really enjoy my macs, I just bought a new desktop, and I love it. I still think that the Apple hardware is more expensive than PC hardware on a checkpoint basis (i.e. USB (check), firewire (check), 1.5GB Ram (check), etc...) But there is an amazing design sense that still comes from apple and I think is worth the money. For example, to transfer data from my laptop to my desktop, I can bring up the ibook as a firewire drive - it doesn't boot to the OS, but just acts like an external drive. So I hook it to my desktop with a firewire cable, and automatically the partitions of the ibook drive appear as drives on my mac desktop. Very cool. Very transparent. Very simple. Very fast :) Also, the desktop machine (which is MP) is able to go into *deep* sleep to save energy, and still come back near instantly. I walk into the room, touch the spacebar, and before I am firmly seated and ready to work, the mac has woken up and is ready. -- Geir Magnusson Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED] System and Software Consulting "Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech." - Benjamin Franklin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
