The XCODE CVS interface is extremely lacking.
I have no choice though to use CVS.
So
Does someone either have a recommendation for:
-) A good third party GUI tool for CVS on the MAC platform
-) A good primer/FAQ/Tutorial for using CVS in the terminal of the MAC
I am not the only one that is going to need to access the CVS files of my project, so I am trying to find a good way that all of us can get along in the usage of it.

Can you be a bit more elaborate in the "extremely lacking" area? I've setup CVS for my small group of co-developers/beta testers, and it works just fine. There's the occasional need to "Refresh entire project" to see changes, but that's about it.
Then I am probably doing something wrong with my setup.
Currently I have the repository setup, and using the SCM option in the main toolbar (up on top). I basically only have the ability to create new folders and import the entire project.
No versioning.
No tagging of build versions.
No branching.
And so on.
So basically I have been making directories of each of my build versions and importing the entire project.

Hence why I asked for a recommendation of a good primer in command line CVS.
Most of our team comes for the Microsoft Arena, where we have used Source Safe and other GUI based SCM tools for years and not completely versed in the command line options/usage of CVS.

You poor bastards, Source Safe is the rock bottom of SCM. CVS is pretty old stuff, a better option would be Subversion.
