No, you shouldn't need any of that. See the web page http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group_id=40 for more details on how to check emacs out of the CVS repository. Anonymous access is probably fine for this usage. When you give the `cvs co' command, you should add Eli's `-r EMACS_21_1_RC' option just after the `co' part of the command line [on the web page, there's other junk between `cvs' and `co', which you still need]. > (PS: i don't know what RC or CVS is.. is that important to know? ) Um, a bit. You at least have to make sure you have CVS installed! If you can type `cvs --help' and get an answer, then that's probably enough. -Miles -- Come now, if we were really planning to harm you, would we be waiting here, beside the path, in the very darkest part of the forest?
