# Tortoise CVS

This is a Windows based application for using the CVS version control system. CVS is used by many localisation projects and eventually you will probably need to interact with it.

It is also useful if you can localise but only on a Windows based machine at work or University. This way you can still contribute to FOSS localisation on from your Windows machine.

See also WinCVS as an alternative to Tortoise CVS.
