I just ran the vmh that comes with my AIX system, and it didn't look that
spectacular.  I not a big fan of any of the [n]mh front ends, but I'd guess
that any of the ones that have been kept up-to-date are more usable than
vmh.  vmh did look nicer than plain msh, though, and we still keep _that_
around, so...

Please bear with me, as I'm a CVS beginner, but I don't know which branch I
have checked out.  I just did what it says to do on the web page:

    % cvs -d [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs checkout nmh

Which version of the archive does this check out?  How would one check out
the other version?  Perhaps this information should be added to cvs.html for 
other CVS newbies that may come along.
