The best CVS *client* is (IMNSHO) "Tortoise CVS". It uses the underlying
libraries from WinCVS, but integrates VERY NICELY with the Win32 shell.
You simply use Windows Explorer or file view to see your files, and they
are labled (green for unchanged, red for modified, etc), and can be
checked in / checked out / diffed / etc by right-clicking. It can be
obtained from http://www.tortoisecvs.org/ .
Depending on what you are doing, you may or may not need a CVS *server*.
If you are simply keeping versioning on your own machine, you can use a
file as your repository, and it will handle the versioning without a
server. If you want to be able to obtain the files remotely or back up
to another machine, then you will need a CVS server. I have used cvsnt
(from http://www.cvsnt.org ), but it wasn't the same wonderful
experience I've had from Tortoise CVS.
