How can I use WinCVS on my PC?
I want to use WinCVS on my PC, but I am not sure if it is OK on standalone PC, doesn anyone help me? where can I find detail information about this topic?
What do you mean exactly? WinCVS is a front-end to CVS and does not have a CVS repository itself. You must have a CVS server (may be the same machine) set up separately to use WinCVS. So if I understand your question correctly, the answer is no, WinCVS cannot be used on a standalone PC unless you also install a Windows version of CVS.

Yeah, that is what I want to know. I have a machine with W2K, then I want to manage my text files version, what can I do?
May I have to install CVSNT, then WinCVS on same machine? is it possible?
Do you have any other suggestion for version manage free sostware else?

Thanks for your answer!
You said CVS and WinCVS, is CVS = CVSNT or anything else?

There is also the Win32 binary directly from the main CVS site. You can find it here: https://ccvs.cvshome.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=83&expandFolder=83&folderID=80
CVSNT has some bells and whistles that make it easier to deal with - like an installer.
