1. Please post your replied *under* the quoted-text.

2. If you want the source code from CVS, then yes, you'll need a CVS client.
There is a link to WinCVS (GUI) and a command-line CVS client for Win32 on the
Synchronet source code page (http://synchro.net/docs/source.html). There's even
a batch file (checkout.bat) which uses the command-line CVS client to get all
the files you need.

3. I have no idea what you mean by "there doesnt seem to be any execs in it
or in its children dirs".

4. Or you can just download ftp://vert.synchro.net/Synchronet/sbbs_src.zip to
get the latest verifiably buildable source for Synchronet-Win32 (without using
CVS).

5. It sounds like you need to read source.html another 100 times. :-)
