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or is that information outdated?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
