how to use CVS to fetch the repository

hello.

I want to use cvs to fetch some codes from j3d.org.

When I do "cvs -d CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.

j3d.org:/home/cvs/j3d/cvsroot checkout code " in

cvs directory, I get error message "connection refused".

what's wrong ? could some one help me?

J3D.org CVS Information

This entire site is managed using CVS. It is possible to download everything to your machine to keep up to date. Warning - it's big! As we don't provide a convenient zipped form of the site, this is the only way to fetch it.

Software

If you do not know what CVS is, or you know but don't have any software, then you should pay a visit to the CVS Homepage. CVS allows you to do incrememental updates of files as they become available, as well as rollbacks to earlier versions. Thus, the files that you download from CVS may not always be in a compilable state, but they'll be the latest copy, pretty much whatever the developers are working on at the moment.

Downloading

Anonymous cvs read access can be had by using the following CVSROOT setting:

CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.j3d.org:/home/cvs/j3d/cvsroot

There is no password required. (ie hit enter when asked).

Of course, you need to know what to download once you have logged in. Here is a list of all modules in the system. A few of them are definitely work in progress and not pretty. Buyer beware!

Module Description

code The j3d.org code repository

code_website The code.j3d.org repository website

faq The raw contents of the FAQ. Text and XML files

faq_code Java code used to generate the FAQ

ftp The raw contents of the FTP site

scripts Various scripts used to maintain cvs and the site

setup Raw files, templates etc to get working

website The core pages of the main website (www.j3d.org)

jobs The nacent, yet uncomplete jobs area

..."

ps. my os is Win98.

Your more hints are very valued.
