P> require cygwin? Not to mention a cvs binary... Is there such a beast P> for windows? I know of the cvs server client and the java client, but P> how about a commandline version? I am using CVS on WindowsNT4sp3. I got it from http://download.cyclic.com/pub/cvs-1.9/windows/cvs-1.9-win.zip if memory serves. Make sure your %HOME%\.cvsrc file is valid if you have one. Move it out of the way in case of trouble. It works great. The only other thing is that it may not be able to patch up and have to refetch (use -z9 for best performance). This would indicate that you have no, or the wrong, patch program on your path.
