Hi,

a warning:
The Web/CVS interface does NOT show the latest code but the oldish
experimental tree. I strongly advise to use it (and I recommend to
either remove the link or update it).

The two ways to get the latest code from CVS is
 - get the CVS snapshot package (you can run cvs up -dP within to update
   in future)
 - use
   cvs -z3 checkout -r releasebranch_11_april_2001_5_0_0 grass

Then you will get all the latest improvements.

Best regards

 Markus Neteler
