Re: front-end

[Russ Sherk]

Some windows users where I work use both.  At first glance it seems
redundant.  TortiseCVS (as Dey states) is great for simple update,
commit etc..  So if you already have repositories set up, it provides
a simple way to access your code.  WinCVS OTOH provides greater
control and detail about the repositories.  So if you want to add
/remove files or directories or get detailed history, it may be
better.

(Personally, I find that nothing beats the ol' cvs co on the command
line... which CVSNT.exe provides.)
