  Based on Sir Raorn's reply, I tried:

  C:\home\suresh\develop\vim\cvs>c:\opt\cvs\cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/vim checkout vim7

  which did lots of stuff and ended with:

  U vim7/src/xxd/xxd.c
  cvs checkout: dying gasps from vim.cvs.sourceforge.net unexpected

  Repeating the command resulted in the same message:
cvs checkout: Updating vim7/src/xxd
  cvs checkout: dying gasps from vim.cvs.sourceforge.net unexpected

  Doing only update as follows:

  C:\home\suresh\develop\vim\cvs>c:\opt\cvs\cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/vim  update

  resulted in the same message:

  cvs update: Updating vim7/src/xxd
  cvs update: dying gasps from vim.cvs.sourceforge.net unexpected

  Is this normal?  If not, what should I do?

  Thanks,

If CVS is sick, you can always fall back on good old FTP (or even HTTP): the full set of sources (for all supported platforms and languages) consists of

        ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/unix/vim-7.0.tar.bz2
        ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/extra/vim-7.0-extra.tar.gz
        ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/extra/vim-7.0-lang.tar.gz
        ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/7.0/

If you want to make sure that you have the latest runtime files, they are in uncompressed text form at

        ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/
                except its dos/ subdirectory

If you have Python installed, you can also use A-A-P, see

        ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/README.txt

for details.


Best regards,
Tony.
