About PCL-CVS
*************

   PCL-CVS is a front-end to CVS versions 1.9 and later.  It concisely
shows the present status of a checked out module in an Emacs buffer and
provides single-key access to the most frequently used CVS commands.
For Emacs users accustomed to VC, PCL-CVS can be thought of as a
replacement for VC-dired (Note: Dired under VC.)
specifically designed for CVS.

   PCL-CVS was originally written many years ago by Per Cederqvist who
proudly maintained it until January 1996, at which point he released the
beta version 2.0b2 and passed on the maintainership to Greg A Woods.
Development stayed mostly dormant for a few years during which version
2.0 never seemed to be able to leave the "beta" stage while a separate
XEmacs version was slowly splitting away.  In late 1998, Stefan Monnier
picked up development again, adding some major new functionality and
taking over the maintenance.

   As of Emacs 21, PCL-CVS is part of the standard Emacs distribution.
