[OSRS-PROJ] <Update>:Initial step ready for testing

Thu Jun 20 03:31:28 EDT 2002

Hello, Frans

In order to use CVS as a client you only need the client software. The 
server is a remotesensing.org, I believe.
For windows, I use WinCVS (www.wincvs.org) which install easily and is no 
problem to configure. We use this internally
on all our Windows machines (WinNT4, Win2k, and XP) and have done so for 
years.

There are two ways to handle this - Paul can use the cvs server to install 
his code, and then generate a zip file from it, or Frank can permit you to 
use CVS in read-only mode (which is the way it is usually used on 
SourceForge and other systems managing open source.

We'll have to wait for Frank to decide what's best in this case.

Mike
