Louis,

I have the same system as you but no CVS by default in /usr/bin.  Many folks
keep it in /CVS or in /CVSROOT, but I prefer to keep it in my own Documents
directory so that it'll be backed up frequently. (I back up my Documents
daily but my entire UNIX system only infrequently.)  Perhaps, --> *
/usr/local/cvsrep*
CVS comes with Mac OS X; so you don't need to install anything new *if
you've installed the programs on the Xcode Tools CD or downloaded Xcode*from
http://developer.apple.com/tools/.

I like SmartCVS the best.

Cheers,
