Was trying to use CVS off of sourceforge.net.
followed the command line they laid out to get logged and all that, but can't figure out what to enter with "cvs co <module>" to actually download all the goods. How can I figure out what to enter for <module> and is there a simple command to enter to upate a program using this.

Man, I'm such a newb; lol

Thanx

<module> would be the name of the program generall.

co is short for checkout. You only need to checkout a program or module once. After that you can just update it with the cvs command:

cvs update

There is a good book about it that is available for free online.

If you read the book, then you will be the cvs master.
