I use CVS at work to manage several projects. It *is* capable of storing
binary files--use the -kb option to cvs add. My only gripe with it is that
it doesn't restore timestamps correctly.
There is a Windows GUI frontend for CVS, but in my experience those things
hardly ever get used. "Real" developers just stick version control commands
in their IDEs' "Tools" menu, or use a DOS prompt.
