If, like Ed said, they are going to use a CVS repository, you will be able to get the tools for Microsoft Windows. I recommend you get cygwin from http://www.cygwin.com, and install cvs. Cygwin is a command-line terminal for MS Windows. You can install ssh, vi, emacs, cvs, etc. on your workstation. I have also seen people use WinCVS (http://www.wincvs.org/), which is a GUI frontend for CVS. Forrest --
