Subject:	SCOUG-Help: Using CVS and NOSAC on the NetLabs Archive Site

Content Type: text/plain

I am trying to download source code files from the NetLabs open source
site, using Concurrent Version System (CVS) and the NetLabs Open Source
Archives Client (NOSAC). I need some help. I believe that I have
correctly installed both programs on my computer.

I can log into the NetLabs archive, using NOSAC and CVS. For example, I
first establish the Internet connection, using my browser. Next, I use
the "login" icon in the Netlabs Archive DDK2 DD Extensions folder in
NOSAC (this runs CVS in a command window with the correct CVS login
commands). After typing in the password, "readonly", the command window
says "Press any key when ready...,". After doing so, the command window
disappears.

Now, I want to download one or more files, using other icons in NOSAC.
The problem is that most of those icons require me to know which file in
the archive I want. For example, if I use the "DDK2 DD Extensions
Checkout file" icon, it opens an input dialog box for the desired
filename. If I type in "*.*" and press enter, a command window opens
with the following messages:

Initialize environment for Archive ddk2 ... Ok
cvs[checkout aborted] must specify at least one module or directory
press any key when ready ...

The ddk2 archive, however, is hidden to me. I do not know what I
contains and there does not seem to be any way to see what's in it. In
fact, all of the NetLabs archives are hidden and protected behind CVS.
Does anyone know how I proceed from here so that I can successfully
download? Thanks for your help.
