<i><font color="#663300">Ed, I'm in the process of registering myself with SourceForge, and have downloaded v. 1.3b8 of WinCVS. My machine is WinXP with VFP7 and Visual.NET installed. Will this, as far as you know, satisfy the requirements for installation? You say that I would also have to get a Win32 ssh client ... err, well, hughgmmm... Would you please make a long story short as to what I should put in this machine to get the pieces of this process to link to each other? </font></i>
The only other thing you'll need is the ssh client. I'm using <a href="http://www.cygwin.com" target="_new">Cygwin</a>; that installed without problems on my machine. You'll need to read the docs on configuring your environment to work with ssh and CVS; I think the one at <a href="http://www.cvsgui.org/ssh.html" target="_new">http://www.cvsgui.org/ssh.html</a> was very helpful. It's really pretty straightforward stuff, but might be a little different if you aren't used to working at a command line.
For those who are unfamiliar with it, "ssh" stands for "secure shell", and is a protocol that uses encrypted messaging between two machines. That prevents any transmitted data, especially passwords, from being easily read over the internet.
<i><font color="#663300">While I don't yet think I can ascribe myself a "developer", surely down the line, I will be able to contribute something. For now, the name I registered myself with in SourceForge is privera1. </font></i>
I've registered you as a developer on the project.
