Nik,

thanks for all the explanation.

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.  Is that correct?

Again, I cannot find docproj-primer* there.

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.
