        modules database, file browser, etc.
        Includes tkdiff for comparing versions of files.

[kroc] - I've done a starkit of tkcvs 7.2 (tested under linux and OS X actually). 
It can be downloaded there [http://www.zolli.fr/fichiers/tkcvs.7z]

[Patrick Finnegan] has written "a quick guide to preparing the XP 
environment ... [[for]] running TkCVS . . ."
[http://groups.google.com/groups?th=9ad9179f422dd3bd].

 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. 

 Regards.

''[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 [http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/]
(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 [http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/]).
Try [http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/] for a bunch of them.
