Please first understand this: WinCvs itself is not even a CVS client. It is a GUI frontend wrapper to the CVSNT commandline client (or any other CVS executable that supports the cvsgui protocol - this restriction will be removed in the future from what I've understood, though). The CVSNT executable itself started out as a port of the unix client, so yes, the syntax is identical in the way that what applies to unix cvs will also apply to CVSNT. OTOH, CVSNT is evolving at a much faster pace than the original cvs project, so there are a lot of enhancements there already. Now back to your original question: Yes, WinCvs is menu driven, but all the menus do is invoke the commandline client "under the hood", so to understand the available options on the WinCvs dialogs it is quite useful to be familiar with the commandline syntax as well. You will also occasionally run into situations where the options or commands necessary to accomplish a specific task are not (yet) exposed through the GUI, so you will have to fall back to using the commandline client. Another bottom line is probably this: Please continue this thread on the CVSGUI list/NG. Hope this helps. Oliver ------------------------ JID: ogiesen at jabber.org ICQ: 18777742 YIM: ogiesen
