CVS is free* and that's very important if you are developing commercial or shareware software on a shoestring budget. And this article does a great job describing how to use CVS. But if you have some cash and want a more powerful and robust version control system, Perforce is the better way to go. And as a bonus, the Apple claims XCode will also have support for Perforce in addition to CVS. I don't work for Perforce, I just use it. * Perforce is free if you are developing open source software. Take a look at http://www.perforce.com/perforce/price.html

  Would you PLEASE stop bugging us about Perforce? We're trying to learn about CVS. Why don't you wait until an article about Perforce comes out?
  
  Besides, better is a subjective term that requires further clarification.
  
  Why don't YOU write an article comparing the two, or as many products as you'd like? Do something useful, instead of sniping in the wrong direction.
