VCS Support on Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows ME

Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows ME do not have a command shell that enables the IDE to work with command-line version control systems. Before you can use a command-line version control system with the IDE on Windows 95/98/ME, you need to install a UNIX shell to interpret the commands. The sh.exe and bash.exe programs, which are available from Cygwin at http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/, are both suitable for this task.

When mounting a CVS filesystem, you need to enter the path to the UNIX shell on the CVS Client panel of the New CVS wizard.

You do not need to install a UNIX shell if you are using the IDE's built-in CVS client. However, the UNIX shell is necessary if you use the IDE's CVS command-line support. When mounting a CVS filesystem, you are prompted to choose either the built-in CVS client or command-line support on the CVS Client panel of the New CVS wizard.
