[JDEV] New Guy needs help

[Justin Karneges]

Do you have to use jabberoo specifically?  There are many libraries available, 
some probably more win32 friendly than others.

By the way, CVS stands for Concurrent Versions System, which is useful keeping 
track of all file changes throughout an entire project.  Maybe you've seen MS 
SourceSafe, which is similar to this.  You might consider CVS for your future 
game projects. ;-)
