[JDEV] Questions on groupchat and yahoo transport..

[Robin Elliott Stevenson]

I haven't checked any code out of CVS before, so I am refering to the "Quick
Start with CVS" documentation.  I'm a little confused by the first command.
>From a BASH prompt while connected to the Internet, I am typing "cvs -d
:pserver:robinste/*****@jabber.org.  The response is simply:  "cvs: command
not found".  Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Robin
