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:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tn5250' checkout -d tn5250-0.17.1
tn5250
The -r didn't seem to work for me, but when I left it out, voila!
