how the H*** tp get cvs-emacs? (I use cmds given HERE!)

[David Combs]

Here's an attempt:



|  268 ==/dkcjunk==> cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs 
login
|  Logging in to :pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:2401/cvsroot/emacs
|  CVS password: 

To which prompt I simply hit <return>.

After which it just sits there.
So, I finally hit a few returns, then said "xxx":

|  
|  
|  xxx
|  cvs [login aborted]: received interrupt signal
|  269 ==/dkcjunk==> 269 ==/dkcjunk==> xxx: Command not found.
|  270 ==/dkcjunk==> cvs -z3 
-d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs -t EMACS_21_3 checkout 
emacs
|  Unknown command: `EMACS_21_3'
|  
|  CVS commands are:
|          add          Add a new file/directory to the repository

modified

|          version      Show current CVS version(s)
|          watch        Set watches
|          watchers     See who is watching a file

|   -> Lock_Cleanup()

|  271 ==/dkcjunk==> 












I also tried it without the -t:

272 ==/dkcjunk==> cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs 
 checkout emacs

but it just sits there, doing nothing.

Any ideas, or other cmd-strings to try?

(Please, don't ask me to *learn* cvs -- the *only* use I 
have for it is to get the "cvs" emacs!)

Thanks!
