Here's something from a year or two ago, from this newsgroup:

| You could check out 21.3 from CVS:
|
| cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs login
| cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs -t EMACS_21_3
checkout emacs
Either line, I get a timeout-failure.
(Maybe those addrs are out of date?)
Can anyone provide a cmmd line to grab a new emacs?
(No, I don't understand cvs, nor do I want to,
for the *few* times per year I'd use it! And
seems complicated, too, via eg O'Reilly book.)
So, can it be "cookbook style" -- a cmd I just
get from you and just paste into the screen
for the shell here?
Thanks!
David
PS: Although I use unix (Solarais 9, sparc) dialed-out to
shell-account (netbsd) (which is where I run cvs from), wife uses
win2k, no old dos-prompt. (And refuses to allow cygwin
on her computer!)
So, is there a way to use cvs via the web? If so,
could you describe how. (Just in case I *never*
get cvs to work!)
