First, I use lynx as browser (knows not javascript).
I've gone to the savannah (cvs) emacs site, but that
seemed to get me nowhere.
What I want, before grabbing it (cvs emacs), is to
see some doc on it, maybe NEWS, Any idea of where
to find this?
BTW, here's what I was told some time ago (a year ago?),
about downloading the actual cvs sources -- are they
still correct?:
[] emacs: ********* how to grab the cvs version of emacs
I asked this earlier, I recall, but cannot find the answer
anywhere. Sorry.

| cd into the directory you would like the emacs sources to be in.
| (for example, I put all my cvs snarfed programs into /build)
|
| then type:
| cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs login
|
| when you are prompted for a password just press return.
| (the password for anonymous access is the empty string)
|
| then type:
| cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs co emacs
| (co means checkout)
|
| bingo! you should have an emacs source tree.
|
| Read emacs/INSTALL-CVS, especially:
|
| Some of the files that are included in the Emacs tarball, such as
| byte-compiled Lisp files, are not stored in the CVS repository.
| Therefore, to build from CVS you must run "make bootstrap"
| instead of just "make":
|
| $ ./configure
| $ make bootstrap
|
|
| After some time has passed you might want to update your sources, to
| get recent changes. I'm not sure what is the best way to do that,
| but a straightforward way is to type:
| -more- http://groups.google.com/grphp?hl=en
