[CLUE-Tech] My transition

[Match Grun]

CVS still has a command line interface. I use command line for SourceForge. However, there are some great GUI clients. I have used jCVS (java based), Cervisia and tkCVS.

I found tkCVS to be the best. It has so many smarts inside that it is so easy to use.

Match.
