Hi Jonathan,

   I think you just made a typo in the second cvs command as shown 
below....

                                       cvs -z3 
-d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/jscheme co 
jscheme
The line above is what you should have entered. (You left off the " -d" 
after z3).

Once it downloads you build it using
       src/build/bootstrap
on Linux/MacOSX or
       src/build/bootstrap.bat
on a Windows machine.

Great!

Hmmmm. We're looking at ways of getting daily builds automatically 
available as
jar files using the sourceforge machines.
