Noted. Good idea.

We treat the sgml as plain text. I use nedit to edit the user guide.
Brian uses vi. I haven't found a free SGML editor.

Thanks for the hint. I was using :pserver:. Doh! It's not like their
CVS page is unclear about it. Switching to :ext: helped a lot. I think
I committed the change.
I do get a bizarre error, though. Maybe something odd from how I
originally set myself up? I never used Source Forge before.

(I'm not sure how I was supposed to know to ssh into
shell.sourceforge.net)
Here's what happened:
jklowden at home$ cvs logout

jklowden at home$ nedit CVS/Root
jklowden at home$ cat CVS/Root
:ext:jklowden at cvs.freetds.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/freetds
jklowden at home$ cvs login

Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes

Creating random seed file ~/.ssh/random_seed. This may take a while.

It looks to me like my home directory is for some reason set to
"/home/users/j/jk/jklowden". I'd guess it should oughta be
"/home/users/jklowden"? On the Source Forge host, that is.

creates it.
