As a relatively new CVS user, I would point out that simply to *track* the
CVS version of a project is relatively simple, and definitely worthwhile for
stuff like Boa. If you run Windows I would recommend that you install
cygwin, which comes with an up-to-date version of CVS quite good enough for
the likes of you or me.

An initial checkout (cvs co) of the whole project is easily done -- every
SourceForge prject explains how to get the code. Thereafter a periodic "cvs
update" will keep you in synch with your project. So I'd recommend that
everyone who's been thinking "maybe I'll try the CVS versionm" do so, and
start giving Riaan more feedback. He need the encouragement of knowing that
people are using his code!

[Riaan: You're doing a great job, keep it up!]
