VC> Whats the script to get the cvs copy of max.

 VC> I have used:

 VC> === Cut ===
 VC> #!/bin/bash
 VC> # script to collect current max from cvs server
 VC> #
 VC> cd /opt
 VC> cvs -z3  
 VC> -d:pserver:anonymous{at}cvs.maximus.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/maximus
 VC> co  maximus
 VC> #cd max
 VC> #./configure
 VC> #make
 VC> === Cut ===

 VC> And this hangs.

that cvs line looks almost exactly like the one i just posted which works
everytime i use it... however, i have a space between the -d and the
:pserver

also, you must make sure that you have untarred the prerequesit max-3.03
file before running the above... as i understand it, and i may be wrong,
the cvs update looks at what is on the drive in the dirs made by that
untarring for what needs to be pulled to be up to date...
