You could checkout the sources from the cvs repository See URL: https://savannah.nongnu.org/cvs/?group=cvs ) cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[email protected]:/sources/cvs login : <enter your email address as the password> cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[email protected]:/sources/cvs co ccvs If you do a 'cvs log' you should see all of the old tags to check out older versions that have been tagged. For example, you should be able to get cvs1-5 in this way. > Thanks. CVS 1.1 and 1.2 were a set of shell scripts written around RCS - The Revision Control System. The sources for versions prior to 1.3 were mostly shared on USENET in comp.sources.unix and the like and cvs-1.4Alpha was shared as a set of patches over email... which I do not believe I have any longer. However, if you provide me space to upload, I could give you a number of revisions from my personal archive. 412 -rw-r--r--. 1 mdb user 421731 Dec 16 1993 cvs-1.3.tar.gz 1228 -rw-r--r--. 1 mdb user 1256940 Jan 2 1996 cvs-1.6.tar.gz 1320 -rw-r--r--. 1 mdb user 1348725 Feb 19 1996 cvs-1.7.tar.gz 1376 -rw-r--r--. 1 mdb user 1406364 May 6 1996 cvs-1.8.tar.gz 1652 -rw-r--r--. 1 mdb user 1687669 Jun 23 1997 cvs-1.9.tar.gz 2460 -rw-r--r--. 1 mdb user 2518438 Aug 13 1998 cvs-1.9.28.tar.gz 2456 -rw-r--r--. 1 mdb user 2514232 Aug 13 1998 cvs-1.9.27.tar.gz 2492 -rw-r--r--. 1 mdb user 2549964 Aug 15 2000 cvs-1.10.tar.gz 2316 -rw-r--r--. 1 mdb user 2371144 Sep 18 1998 cvs-1.10.2.tar.gz 2280 -rw-r--r--. 1 mdb user 2334373 Feb 18 1999 cvs-1.10.5.tar.gz 2264 -rw-r--r--. 1 mdb user 2317260 May 16 1999 cvs-1.10.6.tar.gz 2260 -rw-r--r--. 1 mdb user 2312181 Jul 28 1999 cvs-1.10.7.tar.gz 2268 -rw-r--r--. 1 mdb user 2322238 Jan 17 2000 cvs-1.10.8.tar.gz 2636 -rw-r--r--. 1 mdb user 2695311 Apr 18 2002 cvs-1.11.2.tar.gz 3116 -rw-r--r--. 1 mdb user 3189772 May 19 2004 cvs-1.12.8.tar.gz 2880 -rw-r--r--. 1 mdb user 2947477 Jun 9 2004 cvs-1.11.17.tar.gz 4 -rw-r--r--. 1 mdb user 65 Jun 9 2004 cvs-1.11.17.tar.gz.sig 2900 -rw-r--r--. 1 mdb user 2969415 Nov 11 2004 cvs-1.11.18.tar.gz 4 -rw-r--r--. 1 mdb user 65 Nov 11 2004 cvs-1.11.18.tar.gz.sig 2924 -rw-r--r--. 1 mdb user 2992973 Feb 3 2005 cvs-1.11.19.tar.gz 4 -rw-r--r--. 1 mdb user 65 Feb 3 2005 cvs-1.11.19.tar.gz.sig 2944 -rw-r--r--. 1 mdb user 3013502 Apr 18 2005 cvs-1.11.20.tar.gz 4 -rw-r--r--. 1 mdb user 65 Apr 18 2005 cvs-1.11.20.tar.gz.sig 3372 -rw-r--r--. 1 mdb user 3451335 Sep 28 2005 cvs-1.11.21.tar.gz 4 -rw-r--r--. 1 mdb user 65 Sep 28 2005 cvs-1.11.21.tar.gz.sig 2864 -rw-r--r--. 1 mdb user 2929933 Sep 28 2005 cvs-1.11.21.tar.bz2 4 -rw-r--r--. 1 mdb user 65 Sep 28 2005 cvs-1.11.21.tar.bz2.sig 2872 -rw-r--r--. 1 mdb user 2939294 Jun 9 2006 cvs-1.11.22.tar.bz2 4 -rw-r--r--. 1 mdb user 65 Jun 9 2006 cvs-1.11.22.tar.bz2.sig 3384 -rw-r--r--. 1 mdb user 3463528 Jun 9 2006 cvs-1.11.22.tar.gz 4 -rw-r--r--. 1 mdb user 65 Jun 9 2006 cvs-1.11.22.tar.gz.sig 2876 -rw-r--r--. 1 mdb user 2942652 May 8 2008 cvs-1.11.23.tar.bz2 4 -rw-r--r--. 1 mdb user 65 May 8 2008 cvs-1.11.23.tar.bz2.sig 3432 -rw-r--r--. 1 mdb user 3512175 May 8 2008 cvs-1.11.23.tar.gz 4 -rw-r--r--. 1 mdb user 65 May 8 2008 cvs-1.11.23.tar.gz.sig 3308 -rw-r--r--. 1 mdb user 3385448 Jun 9 2004 cvs-1.12.9.tar.gz 4 -rw-r--r--. 1 mdb user 65 Jun 9 2004 cvs-1.12.9.tar.gz.sig 4 -rw-r--r--. 1 mdb user 65 Dec 13 2004 cvs-1.12.11.tar.gz.sig 3584 -rw-r--r--. 1 mdb user 3667923 Dec 13 2004 cvs-1.12.11.tar.gz 4 -rw-r--r--. 1 mdb user 189 Jan 26 2005 cvs-1.12.11.tar.gz.asc 3964 -rw-r--r--. 1 mdb user 4058504 Apr 18 2005 cvs-1.12.12.tar.gz 4 -rw-r--r--. 1 mdb user 65 Apr 18 2005 cvs-1.12.12.tar.gz.sig 4628 -rw-r--r--. 1 mdb user 4737137 Oct 3 2005 cvs-1.12.13.tar.gz 4 -rw-r--r--. 1 mdb user 65 Oct 3 2005 cvs-1.12.13.tar.gz.sig You may also find that the cvsnt sources which are a rewrite in C++ may be of interest. -- Mark
