At work i do a lot of MS C++ and we are using CVS all the way combined with VC7 etc. A nice debian server providing cvs services, wincvs for CVS client access and my productivity as more than doubled. CVS to me, seemed complicated, at first and I didn't really understand it, but now I am totaly converted. It was setting up my own cvs server and really using it in production that taught me how to use it properly and it has saved by bacon more than once as VC eats various source and project files during a crash. There is no actual need to use a public cvs server for a very small project. Maybe just release tar balls. BUT use a (local) cvs (or other version control as takes your fancy) as it is worth it. As soon as the project expands a public cvs server is needed and source forge as mentioned is the place. -- Robin Cornelius --------------------------------------------------- robin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.cornelius.demon.co.uk http://sourceforge.net/projects/rt2400 GPG Key ID: 0x729A79A23B7EE764 http://www.biglumber.com/x/web?qs=0x729A79A23B7EE764
