Hi Rob: CVS is the "Concurrent version system". It is used by developers of open-source software to track there software. A developer "Checks Out" a piece of software from CVS, Makes his changes, and checks it in again. The CVS will update all files on the server that the developer changed. It's a really cool system and It helps the developers stay current on the latest modifications to the code. Hope this helps, Alex Snow email: alex8887 at hotmail.com BBS: Telnet://bbs1.dyndns.org----- Original Message ----- From: "Rob DeZonia" <robd1953@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Tuesday, April 23, 2002 10:14 AM Subject: newbie question, the sequel This one shouldn't be hard, but haven't found the answer in any docs I've read.
