lcVCS - Getting started

[Andrew Kluthe]

Ahh, thanks for that info monte.

I am on windows here too so that would definitely keep me from getting
running with it and that is a very tricky problem indeed to solve without a
lot of re-engineering of the whole system.

Let me know if I can help test anything on windows or there is anything
specific I could contribute to.

Kind regards,

Andrew
