Is there any way to download the latest source code for Mozart 1.4.0
for Windows XP without using CVS?  I need to compile from source
because apparently the Windows installer version is incompatible with
the Japanese version of Windows XP Professional, which I am using
right now; if I can compile from source, this incompatibility may be
resolved.

(I posted a follow-up to the earlier "Re: Next Mozart Release?" thread
(see http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.mozart.user/2544)
describing a result of a trace for the earlier error message, "Process
Oz Emulator exited abnormally with code 5," which had appeared in
Emacs, but received no response, so now I am trying to compile Mozart
from source to see if this approach will resolve the bug.)

According to "6.3 Building Mozart" (see
http://www.mozart-oz.org/documentation/install/node9.html#section.cygwin.building):

>Now we can get to the real thing. Retrieve the sources from the CVS:
>
>    cvs -d cvs.mozart-oz.org:/services/mozart/CVS get mozart
>    cvs -d cvs.mozart-oz.org:/services/mozart/CVS get mozart-stdlib
>
>(specify -r mozart-1-3-0-fixes to get the fixes branch). See 
>http://www.mozart-oz.org/download/view.cgi?action=cvs for details about
>anonymous CVS. Let mozart be the directory created by the first cvs get 
>command and stdlib the one created by the second. 

Therefore, apparently I need to set up CVS to download the source code
for Mozart 1.4.0.

I tried to configure CVS in Cygwin (I prefer to use the command-line
version of CVS, not WinCVS), but ran into difficulties in trying to
register a public key for a CVS/SSH combination on SourceForge.net so
that I could set up a CVS client; _viz._ (from my "Account
Maintenance" page):

>Shell and CVS services are only available to those users listed as developers 
>on a project. 

Then I tried to set up the same on SourceForge.jp (the Japanese site),
which allows such registrations for non-developers, but because the
explanation for the Display Name wasn't clear, I wound up using the
same name as my login name, and now I need to wait for a week for the
account to reset so that I can register there with my full name.

Any information on a non-CVS approach to downloading the latest source
code for Mozart 1.4.0 would be appreciated.
