Do you want my copy of it ? CVS is quite freely available as native version. And what the better, CVS integrates quite nicely to Eclipse.

You have to carefully keep settings in working order if you want to use it for multiple projects.

Eg. how well it works and so on. I prefer not to jump between programs... It is just awkward.
