Re: Getting the latest cvs version (was Re: tn5250 0.17.1 crash on"graphics" data)

I didn't even get that much from the man page or cvs --help

I saw a message that Jason Felice posted with directions for getting one of the 
0.16x branches and kept changing commands until it worked.  I finally got the 
files into the directory tn5250-0.17.1/ instead of tn5250/ with the following 
command:

cvs -d ':pserver:anonymous@cvs.cleveland.lug.net:/tn5250' checkout -d 
tn5250-0.17.1 tn5250

The -r didn't seem to work for me, but when I left it out, voila!
