I found the tutorial at the specified location - most of them. Maybe I should have pointed out that the turorial I am particular interested in is the docproj-primer and this is one I cannot find there. I used the web interface to cvsup and had a look at http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/doc/en/tutorials/docproj-primer/. Seems as if everything there went into the attic and therefore I don't get any of the files using cvsup.

Yes, that will be my final option but before doing that I wanted to understand what I am doing wrong that I cannot find the docproj-primer in any other format than HTML.
