Using CVS to manage Delphi source code
======================================
The discussion will be in 2 parts,

Part 1 is the overview of CVS and version control and what it can do for
you, followed by a walk through of importing a Delphi project into CVS
and using CVS with tortoise.

Part 2 is the lab for people who are interested. I will install CVSNT
and tortoise from scratch, import a project, and check it out on a
different machine. I will have an Ethernet hub, and hopefully a
functional WiFi access point for people who what to try installing it
and running it from their own laptop.

There is air conditioning in the building, but it gets turned
off about 6:00, so the beginning of the meeting will be
comfortable. The end of the meeting will probably be a little
sticky.
