Finally bloody well got CVS working :)
See the guides at
http://sfdocs.sourceforge.net/sfdocs/

You need these programs:
  ssh:  ftp://ftp.cs.hut.fi/pub/ssh/contrib/ssh-1.2.14-win32bin.zip
  cvs:  http://download.cyclic.com/pub/cvs-1.10/windows/cvs-1.10-win.zip
(There is also a gui cvs client but it is a bit buggy - try it if you want.)

To check out your copy of the sourcecode as a developer type: (all as one line)

cvs -d:ext:username@cvs.Fcomm.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/fcomm co fcomm

Change username to your sourceforge name.
This will create a new directory "fcomm" (the last argument) and download the latest sources. (you will be asked for your password - put your sourceforge password.)

When you have modified a source (and checked that it compiles), you can upload it by typing

cvs commit filename

(change filename to the name of the file). And a comment window will popup where you should type what changes you made. (Then save the comment file and close it).

Its possible you will have overlapping changes with someone else - see the CVS docs - in that case CVS will tell you and fill in the conflicting lines and it is upto you (when it is convenient) to edit it so that the changes work together.
