It is the same package that comes with the CVS distribution. If you have your Unix sources use those. You also need the `elib' package, and again, if you have your Unix sources available use those. As far as other programs, you'll need a Unix-like shell, a diff program, and a remove directory program. I use `tcsh' as the shell, GNU diff, and GNU `rm'. These are available in various places on the Internet, most notably in the Cygnus package and RkTools package. Depending on the version of CVS, you may also need RCS, a patch utility, and gzip installed. Those three can be eliminated by installing CVS 1.9.16 or better (I use CVS 1.9.27) but remember to upgrade both the server and client side if you use the `pserver' access method. To use `pcl-cvs' on Windows, all one needs to do is define a couple of variables prior to loading the package since it needs to know where to find the programs described above. I have something equivalent to the following in my .emacs: (defvar cvs-program "c:/TcTools/cvs.exe" "*Full path to the cvs executable.") ;; SunOS-4.1.1_U1 has "diff.c 1.12 88/08/04 SMI; from UCB 4.6 86/04/03" ;; (defvar cvs-diff-program "c:/TcTools/diff.exe" "*Full path to the best diff program you've got. NOTE: there are some nasty bugs in the context diff variants of some vendor versions, such as the one in SunOS-4.1.1_U1") (defvar cvs-rmdir-program "c:/TcTools/rm -fr" "*Full path to the rmdir program. Typically /bin/rmdir.") (defvar cvs-shell (cond ((getenv "ESHELL") (getenv "ESHELL")) (t "c:/TcTools/sh.exe")) "*Full path to a shell that can do redirection on stdout.") Hope this helps. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- John D.
