CVS , RCS... How to download the files?

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/CVS , RCS... How to download the files?

I found programs that are under the system of CVS or RCS. I usually can find somewhere in the internet the source but I have no lack of compiling the source and get the dll and a files that I need to make the libraries to run under BMax.
Does anyone know how I can download those files?
Is there any easy way to do it or I just have to take the high way of learning how CVS works and try to download them?

Read The Freakin' Manual

I thing I said that I wanted to know if there is any easy way to do that. And not to google for the manual.

I use Tortoise CVS.

Make sure you configure it right so it doesn't operate on every folder in Explorer (I had it like that for a while by accident, and it was SLOW).

It's really easy, and it works perfectly so far :)

Thing you said? Anyways, using CVS is easy. Hell, you could use cvs --help and it would be easy.

Now learn to help yourself -_-

Thank god we have Noel point our way.

I use CVS command line stuff, the applications such as WinCVS just confuse the hell out of me.

I know its "update" once youve got your sandbox set up. Tortoise rocks.

A bad think is that I cannot use tortoise as I am Win98.
I am really confused right now. I cannot enter the cairo cvs. And I don't understand what I am doing wrong.
I am running this : cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@... login
It doesn't requare password and I just press enter.
And I get this : CVS.exe [login-aborted]: could not find outhome directory.

Try SmartCVS. It's java IIRC, so should run on archaic Operating Systems.
