Fri Feb 4 10:26:09 IST 2011 ============================ If you are reading this, you are looking in the wrong file. Gawk is no longer maintained in CVS. It is maintained in Git from savannah.gnu.org. According to the Savannah website, you can use: cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@pserver.git.sv.gnu.org:/gawk.git \ co -d gawk master to get the development version. This works. However, as far as I can see, there is no way to get to any of the other branches in the Git repository via CVS. Please move directly to Git if you can. Thanks, Arnold Robbins Gawk Maintainer
