Outline:
- Introduction:CVS is a version control system. It is used to record the history of your source files.Bugs can creep in when software is modified, and may not be detected until a long time after the modification is made. With CVS, you can retrieve old versions to find which change caused the bug.CVS can also help when a project is being worked on by multiple people, where overwriting each others changes is easy to do. CVS solves this problem by having each developer work in his/her own directory and then instructing CVS to merge the work when each developer is done.

recommendation
Use Subversion instead -- it was developed later by the former CVS team to overcome the inherent problems in the design of CVS. Many of the large open source projects are in the process of migrating to Subversion, if they haven't already.
The Subversion team has written an excellent book that gives guidance on best practices and CVS migration issues.

Can you help
mm Actually i need the OSS help to advice my company to move from proprietary software "Microsoft Visual Source Safe" to an open source one.
we have a problem in using The old version of source safe from distributed sites. if you want to connect to source safe from another network with the IP of the Visual Source safe it will not be possible. this problem is solved in the latest Visual Source Safe embedded in Microsoft Visual Studio.net 2005 .
so, what shall we do, buy a license for the new version !!! or use OSS one?
