I'm a complete novice to CVS. I remember I used it once, but the
particular site told me exactly what I needed to type in at the prompt,
set my CVSHOME or something, the command-line switches and everything, and
it downloaded a nice fat tarball for me.

Now, unfortunately, this site gives me no help whatsoever. I want to
download all the source code but, unfortunately, I can't figure out how to
download anything except for actually finding and clicking the "download"
button for every single file. Not a fun experience.

So, I humbly petition the UUG for help. I presume I'm supposed to know a
username/password or something, but I have nothing. All I want to do is
download all the files in a relatively easy and quick way. The site can
be found here:

Man pages, help files, not even Google searches have helped me--they all
assume I know at least /something/ about CVS (an obviously false
assumption).


Thanks in advance, everyone,
  Ross

p.s. while I'm on the subject of CVS, this is slightly off-topic but I
remember some BYU people working on Open Source genealogy software back in
the day ... my [extended] family works on these big huge genealogy files
and needs some easy way to coordinate their work. I often contemplated
using CVS or something like it, but again I'm totally ignorant of such
things. They used to use PAF, but I think they've switched to some new
program because it was easier to coordinate. Has anybody done anything
similar or have ideas of what they could use?
