The CVS version of Speakup is the version currently under development. It is not available as a single tarball. In other words you don't download speakup.tar.gz to get it. Instead, you use the "Concurrent Versions System" CVS CVS is a way for different people in different parts of the world to all work together on a single software project. CVS keeps track of who checked in what lines of code. It is an environment for software developers. Getting the CVS version of Speakup means getting the current state of the software code. It will be different tomorrow, and again the next day as new code is checked in. > From: "Jes and guide dog Harley" <jesman598 at triad.rr.com> > > Jes breaks down the door of the speakup room and asks, What!
