I am in much the same boat as Justin. Generally I am pretty adept at
figuring things out for myself, but somehow I am missing one or two crucial
steps. Part of the problem is that all the instructions seem to be written
for Unix users and for the moment at least I am stuck with Windows.

So, I downloaded smartcvs and ran the setup. It looks like it is exactly
what I need, but again, I can't quite get it to connect with my project on
SF. Here is my first specific question. Does smartcvs have all I need to
make this connection, or do I need to download some kind of SSH support as
well? Thanks.
