Personal CVS questions

Ok, I'm working with another SDK owner on a game project, and our methods are erratic and random in some cases(find something unexpected, fix it, then get back to what we were working on). The big problem comes when we are trying to update each other with changes that the other has made. So it occurs to me that having our own CVS would be a great way for us to collaborate on our project. I have my own webserver and could easily implement such a thing IF I could find some information on how to do so. So far my search has revealed that UNIX programers should be able to find everything they need to do this, but us Windows users will find nothing but confusion and hundreds of explanations of doing the same thing a 100 different ways.
Are you confused yet?
What I want to know is, can anyone link me to a site that could help me set up our own CVS server on my IIS server? I'm pretty adept at this stuff, but I do require at least the program, or links to it, and some basic setup instructions. If anyone can help in this area I would be very greatful to them. Thanks.

Sigh. Thanks for the link. I actually have a running server now. But as usual the documentation does not match the program, and I cannot get it to add user accounts by use of the provided instructions. Its a shame that one of these programs cant have a simple GUI that lets you add a username and password instead of using a command prompt to set path variables and all the other crap involved with it. Because its just flat out not working.All I can do is get rejected by the server no matter what i try. I just dont get it.

It interfaces seemlessly with the .NET studio, and is pretty quick also. I was able to check out information on a friends test server, and he only have 128 Mb up dsl line, and it was about as quick as using SourceSafe at work on a 100 MB network. I was impressed.

What you really are asking for is a easy to use CVS program for free, which just doesn't exsist to my knowledge. For ease of use though there is a great program that can be set up as a web service called The Vault. It's a bit pricy, but if you are seriously considering selling your finished product, then you can write it off as a business expense if you are in the US I wouldn't know about other countries tax laws.It interfaces seemlessly with the .NET studio, and is pretty quick also.

"What you really are asking for is a easy to use CVS program for free, which just doesn't exsist to my knowledge."
No, what I wanted was a program that someone knew would work, and thats what I got. Unfortunately the documentation for the provided link was way out of date, and just barely got me moving in the right direction. However in this case, Badguy supplied me with more than I had been able to accomplish before, and thanks to quite a bit of trial and error, I managed to get a CVS server running.
So to Badguy, a big super Thank You is in order, and to everyone else, if your interested in doing your own CVS, use the link that Badguy provided and when you get stuck, I'll be glad to help you overcome the problems with the documentation now that I myself have overcome them.
And Steven, thank you as well. I appreciate you taking the time to link me.
