OK...trying not to be too newbie...but I proceed very slowly when it comes to this stuff. Just to confirm I'm reading everything correctly... I'm running 5.1 and CVSup is NOT already installed, so I have to: A) download and install Modula-3 compiler B) install zlib C) install CVSup or is that information outdated? Also, in the CVSup sources directory, there are several numbered sources...which one do i compile? Thanks, AK
