No - it is just WinCVS written in Java rather than C/C++

Certainly TortoiseCVS requires an 'install' - but if you are working on a
computer for a while then getting TortoiseCVS installed shouldn't be too
difficult. WinCVS's GUI is a bit complex (not as 'simple' as TortoiseCVS) but
you should be able to 'simply' copy the WinCVS and CVSNT (the client) binaries
from one computer to a USB disk and most corporate firewalls have SSH (port 22)
open and you can use the CVSNT :ssh: protocol which doesn't require any
fiddling about with SSH clients to work OK.
Contact the CVSNT or WinCVS newsgroups about those projects - don't ask
questions about them here.

Sharepoint does this a couple of ways:
1) via webdav by 'mapping' http://server/path to h: drive (or whatever)
2) via a web form
Option 2 is not so useful for CVS projects since there tends to be a LOT of
files in a single project under version control and checking out each file via
a web form would be painful. A variation could be for the server to ZIP the
whole 'sandbox' and allow you to download that from a web form.
Option 1 is available with EVS/CM Server (previously known as CVSNT 3.1) - join
the mailing list for EVS (see www.evscm.org) if you are interested in that
option (a evaluation installer and migrate utility for SVN and CVS projects
will be available soon - currently overdue by a few weeks...)
Thanks again for the feedback - good for me to know.
