and Subversion (SVN), revision control systems.
Supports CVS 1.6 and newer and provides search facilities for the
modules database, file browser, etc.

Linux v1.2.13/CVS 1.6/Tk 4.0 and SunOS v4.1.3/CVS 1.[2-6]/Tk 4.0.
See the Cyclic site for a port of tkCVS to [Windows NT].

kroc - I've done a starkit of tkcvs 7.2 (tested under linux and OS X actually). It can be downloaded there [

[Patrick Finnegan
] has written "a quick guide to preparing the XP environment ... [for] running TkCVS . . ." [
2].
I have received a few queries about running TKCVS on Windows XP so
here is a quick guide to preparing the XP environment.
1. Install CVSNT client.
CVS NT is available from http://www.cvsnt.org. The client component
installs the CVS windows native command line environment utilized by
TKCVS.
2. Install Active State Tcl Run Time.
Available from http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActiveTcl/.
3. Install Microsoft services for unix.
Available from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/sfu/default.asp.
Supported by Microsoft, preferred by Corporates and free. Install the
unix command line component. Provides unix command capability from
the windows command shell. E.G. supplies diff.exe.
4. Install TKCVS.
Install latest version of TKCVS.
Create desktop and start button shortcuts.
The working directory and module browser icons do not display properly
under XP. I changed the working directory icon as follows.
Navigate to TKCVS install dir C:\TKCVS72\lib\tkcvs\bitmaps\.
Convert ticklefish_med.gif to ticklefish_med.ico.
package require Tk
package require Img
image create photo img -file ticklefish_med.gif
img write ticklefish_med.ico -format ico
Navigate to C:\TKCVS72\lib\tkcvs\workdir.tcl
Edit line 36: wm iconbitmap .workdir
C:/TKCVS72/lib/tkcvs/bitmaps/ticklefish_med.ico
Working directory browser now displays with fish icon.

escargo 1 Aug 2004 - What if you have
Cygwin installed instead of the
Unix services for
Microsoft Windows?
PT 2-Aug-2004: Alternatively you can install TortoiseCVS from
http://tortoisecvs.sourceforge.net/ which integrates CVS file versioning directly into Windows Explorer. It supports SSH and is trivial to use with
SourceForge. If you also get PuTTY's pageant [
3] (equivalent to the unix
ssh-agent) then you don't have to keep typing passwords either.
Personally I have never needed Unix Services for Windows. There are native win32 versions of cvs, diff, patch and even ssh (although putty's plink is more useful [
4]). Try [
5] for a bunch of them.
