With cygwin installed you can use bash & its cvs and follow previous steps below, however I personally use native win32 cvs client and cmd.exe (the NT shell, similar but not quite the same as command.com) which the previous steps map to the following: set ABIROOT=\some\suitable\location\abiword mkdir %ABIROOT% (assumes command extensions or \some\suitable\location exists) cd %ABIROOT% set CVSROOT=:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot cvs login (the password is "anoncvs") cvs checkout abi [Note: the basic difference is use \ instead of / for local paths, use %name% instead $name for environment variables, and use set instead of export] Don't forget to checkout the other cvs modules abidistfiles, nsis, ... (if you actually want it to compile). ps> Eric Zen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On 2003.02.12 21:37 printf scanf ps> wrote: ... ps> > 2.

If you need help with the actual compiling please let me know (I can help with MS VC -- 5,6,7 or whatever the apparently free one is, but someone else will have to help if you want to use MingW or Cygwin gcc).
