Its all in the FAQ, in the "Contributing section". See
http://www.elks.ecs.soton.ac.uk/faq-4.shtml.
Here is a quick GUIDE.
export CVSROOT=':pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/elks/cvs'
cvs login
cvs -z6 checkout elks
cvs -z6 checkout elkscmd
cvs -z6 checkout elkspages
You can make this easier by making a file called .cvsrc in your home
directory with the line:
cvs -z6
in it. This way you don't have to type -z6 each time you do a cvs command.
For this to work as long as doa.org is not resolving, your will need to
put the line
194.134.136.157 elks.doa.org
int your hosts file.

Any chance you could send me your code as it stands?
Have you made any modification outside the arch psion directory?
