Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows ME do not have a command shell that enables the IDE to work with command-line version control systems. Before you can use a command-line version control system with the IDE on these systems, you need to install a UNIX shell to interpret the commands. The sh.exe and bash.exe programs, which are available from Cygwin at http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/, are both suitable for this task.
When mounting a CVS filesystem, type the path to the UNIX shell in the CVS Executable property in the New VCS Filesystem wizard.
You do not need to install a UNIX shell if you are using the IDE's built-in CVS client. However, the UNIX shell is necessary if you use the IDE's CVS command-line support.
