Good question (since I never have tried anonymous access).

If you go to:

https://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=2341

and click on the cvs repository link (middle/bottom of the page), a new link
will appear with instructions on accessing gpsim's CVS anonymously. I tried
those instructions as shown and it did work. But there is one ambiguous piece of
info there, so let me repeat the instructions.

First you have to 'login' anonymously. This doesn't do anything fancy other than
to tell SorceForge that you want to estabilish a link:

cvs ####@####.#### login

next, you need to checkout the files:

cvs -z3 ####@####.#### checkout .

This is where the SorceForge directions are ambiguous. Since this is your FIRST
cvs access, you want to get all of the files. Thats what the '.' (period) on the
end of the command does. 

When you get the code from CVS this first time, you'll have to go through a
couple of extra steps to build it. But those steps are really simple. In the
directory you downloaded gpsim, enter these commands:

$ automake
$ autoconf
$ ./configure
$ make

Go get a cup of coffee as your computer cranks through compiling gpsim. When
it's done, you can then install it:

$ su root
# make install
# exit

And you whould be ready to go!

If Ralf, Daniel, or I make a change to CVS and you just want to update your
local copy, then all you need to do is this:

cvs -z3 ####@####.#### update

The 'update' command will compare your local copy with the master CVS copy and
then update your's with the differences. It's a whole faster than re-downloading
everything.

Let me know how this goes.

I just created a new web page that essentially duplicates the information I
posted in the previous message about how to download and comiple gpsim from CVS:

http://www.dattalo.com/gnupic/gpsim_cvs.html

btw, I did leave one minor step out in the previous post. When you're prompted
for a password, just press return.

Thanks, for the instruction. No it works. :)
