You can't. You need to check it out from CVS and build it on your 
platform of choice. (Except that it won't work on Win32 without a lot of 
work.)

Binaries have never been released because the project has always 
considered TCS to be deprecated. Some reasons are:

   o Tests are stored in binary format, which renders them
     unsuitable for CVS.
   o The tests themselves are fragile - even changes in
     whitespace in the output will fail a test.
   o The interface for maintaining the tests is awkward to use.

A new test suite is under development - qmdb. But you'll need to check 
that out of CVS, too. You will also need Python and some other stuff, 
but all that should be documented in the test suite.
