We use a version control system called CVS. The easiest way to get to the
files is to get the files directly through CVS. The easiest way to do this
is to download a GUI client. There is a platform independent one at
http://www.jcvs.org You sound like a CVS newbie. Well so am I. I hate CVS
with a friggin passion. Its like an ancient Unix command line utility thats
been mutated by radiation into a version control system.

Man, you should try source safe... yuck.

Perforce and bitkeeper sound reasonable but they're not open source.

If you're on windows and want a good tool to use with CVS then you can't go 
too far wrong with tortoise cvs.  Integrated into the explorer shell.  It's 
still useful to have the command line for some things but it makes the 
every day tasks easier.
