To check out your copy of the sourcecode as a developer type: (all as one line)
cvs -d:ext:username@cvs.Fcomm.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/fcomm co fcomm
Change username to your sourceforge name.
This will create a new directory "fcomm" (the last argument) and download the latest sources. (you will be asked for your password - put your sourceforge password.)
When you have modified a source (and checked that it compiles), you can upload it by typing
cvs commit filename
(change filename to the name of the file). And a comment window will popup where you should type what changes you made. (Then save the comment file and close it).
Its possible you will have overlapping changes with someone else - see the CVS docs - in that case CVS will tell you and fill in the conflicting lines and it is upto you (when it is convenient) to edit it so that the changes work together.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Finally bloody well got CVS working :)

(There is also a gui cvs client but it is a bit buggy - try it if you want.)
