I've got it to work on my machine, though I don't use it much since I'm a
solo developer and it seems only worth while with a group larger than 1
person working in it.

However to get CVS working you need the following lines in your
AUTOEXEC.BAT:

SET CVSEDITOR=C:\WIN98SE\COMMAND\EDIT.COM
SET CVSROOT=:local:e:\develop\cvsrepository

Of course, you may want to use something other that EDIT.COM (notepad.exe or
something) and you'll want to set your CVSROOT to :local:c:\work.  It's a
good idea to have a separate repository for your versions.  Also I have
;e:\cvs; set in my PATH statement.

I hope this helps.
