You shouldn't need a "cvs client".
If you are useing Windows, map the server CVS is installed on in explorer.
Then it becomes the "F:" drive or what ever.
In advanced properties, add "F:\Programs Files\ CVS for NT" or where ever
CVS is installed on the server to your path.
Now if you type "cvs" in the command window, you will get a command line
"usage" help reply. Now you can work out the command line that works for
you and move it into Ant.

David,
I am using eclipse, and everything works fine from there. However, I'm
trying to automate some tasks. I don't have a command line cvs client on
my
pc.
Thanks,
Derrick
