Re: cvs under linux

I have cvs installed on Linux and I am trying to access the cvs with
wincvs from a windows client and I have read the cvs man page and been to
their site but what do I need to be able to do to have 2 files on the cvs
and see what cvs does with them regarding versioning, basically I just
wanted a small example of what is possible with cvs.
