You need Toolshed-2.0 too.  it's on sourceforge too I believe.

While I tend to agree, the window descriptor src is right there in the 
repo.

If the cvs access has not been turned off due to the current state of 
breakage, cd to someplace on your drive that is suitably handy, and if 
running linux, execute this script:
----------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
export CVS_RSH=ssh
cvs -z3 -d:ext:gheskett at nitros9.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/nitros9 co -P nitros9
------------------------------------
You should when its done, have a copy of the current repo on your own drive.
