[NTLUG:Discuss] Comparison of CVS and SrcSafe

[Brian]

We use CVS on a Linux box, with an NT command-line front end.  Works OK,
but obviously not the solution for the "point-and-click" types.  I
understand there are some GUI front-ends that will run under NT (we
tried one written in Java and it, to put it in your words, sucked hard).
