I'm not about to call it a dumb question. I haven't put up anything  
close to a decent document on the matter. I can't tell you to RTFM if  
it hasn't been written. :)

Project Builder is only used to compile the source.

Under MacOS X I use the command line CVS tools. You may be able to use  
other CVS tools, but I don't know how to set them up.

To setup the AlephModular source code:

	* Create a directory in the finder to hold the code.
	* Open Terminal
	* Navigate within Terminal to the directory you just created
		I find this easiest to do by typing 'cd ' and then dropping
		the folder on the Terminal window.
	* Login to the anonymous CVS server
		Type the following in the terminal and press enter
		cvs  
-d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/ 
alephmodular login
	* Checkout the source from CVS
		Type the following in the terminal and press enter
		cvs -z3  
-d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/ 
alephmodular co alephModular

At this point AM will get checked out from CVS. If you use the finder  
to navigate within the checked out files to  
alephModular/build/macosx/AlephModular.pbproj, you can open the project  
within Project Builder and compile it.

You will need to copy the Marathon2 data files to the directory  
alephModular/build/macosx/build/ in order to run AM within PB's  
debugger.

Once you have checked out the AM files from cvs then you would update  
those files from the Terminal. cd to the alephModular directory, and  
type cvs update -AdP

http://www.cvshome.org/ is the homepage for CVS and the cvs command  
line tools are not only installed by default, but ProjectBuilder can  
integrate with them. Thus allowing you to compare or update files from  
within ProjectBuilder to a certain degree.

I don't know what other resources might be good, but I suspect they're  
out there. Hmm
