Re: problem with anon cvs

[robby <robby@cs.rice.edu>]

Your CVS client is getting confused because we have wierd names in 
our CVS archive. We will change that.

Unless you are compiling for the macintosh, you can just skip the 
a-list subdirectory of the plt/src tree (for those of use that are 
compiling on the mac, use "MacCVS" which should work fine). This 
means that you will have to selectively checkout all of the other 
directories. Here are the directories at the top-level:

plt/bin/
plt/collects/
plt/man/
plt/notes/
plt/teachpack/
plt/tests/

In addition, you will need to check out the other directories in the 
src/ subtree -- here they are:

src/drjava/
src/mac/
src/mred/
src/mysterx/
src/mzcom/
src/mzscheme/
src/srpersist/
plt/src/worksp/
plt/src/wxcommon/
plt/src/wxmac/
plt/src/wxwindow/
plt/src/wxxt/

So, for example, you will need to run:

   cvs checkout -r exp plt/bin
   ...
   cvs checkout -r exp plt/src/drjava
   ...

Hope that helps! Sorry for the trouble.
