    I would like to know what program I can use to get the source via CVS and hack around with it on a Windows system to see if I can't generate a 32bit console application for Windows and perhaps get output flowing through STDOUT properly.

      Visit the "CVS GUI Project" here at sourceforge.

      http://sourceforge.net/projects/cvsgui/

      Alternatively if you have access to a linux box CVS shell commands are probably built-in.

      If you have trouble consult one of the many CVS instruction books around.
      (eg. http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/\)

      Just a warning to others, I haven't been able to get WinCVSGui to work on XP.  Any tips are appreciated, but just wanted to let people know before they tried.

      CVS GUI does indeed not work on Windows XP Pro.  I don't understand why there isn't something that can integrate CVS with such a popular development tool such as Visual Studio, even if I am using a pre-release version its still very popular.

      At any rate, could someone be kind enough to package up the sources in some sort of standard archive format and mail it to me at addilapi@alum.rpi.edu?  Any tips on what I need to do to get it to compile as a Windows binary would be much apprciated too.

      I have had great success with TortoiseCVS in WinXP Pro if that helps any.

      http://www.wincvs.org/TortoiseCVS/

      "TortoiseCVS works under Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000 and XP"

        Thanks for the tip, works great.  Except, I can't get anonymous access to the par-cmdline dir.  I can get access to /cvs/parchive but there isn't anything there.  Any tips?

          It took me a bit to get it working right the first couple of times I used it. First make sure your configuration looks like this:

          Protocol: Internet (Unix pserver)
          Server: cvs.parchive.sourceforge.net
          Repository directory: /cvsroot/parchive
          *User name: anonymous
          Module: par-cmdline

          *This defaults to your login username, in my case it defaults to Scott. When I first create a CVS checkout module, even if I change it, it tends to not work. I would check it and try again.

            Sweet, this really worked!  Thaks.  You have to deal with the whole directory at a time?  I guess I hadn't realized that.  Of course the real irony is, I've been trying to get this forever, but now that I do par.exe 1.1 and smartpar are both released.
