What is CVS(Control Version System?

Answer Posted / george nace

CVS (Concurrent Versions System)is a version control system
which is upward compatible with RCS (Revision Control
System). It is not a configuration management tool by
itself, but it is an important component of a SCM (Software
Configuration Management) system. CVS is designed for use in
a client/server environment using a centralized repository,
and allows for concurrent editing of files by globally
dispersed development teams. For more information see:
