Two real quick questions

[Janina Sajka]

The CVS version of Speakup is the version currently under development.
It is not available as a single tarball. In other words you don't
download speakup.tar.gz to get it. Instead, you use the "Concurrent
Versions System" CVS

CVS is a way for different people in different parts of the world to all
work together on a single software project. CVS keeps track of who
checked in what lines of code. It is an environment for software
developers.

Getting the CVS version of Speakup means getting the current state of
the software code. It will be different tomorrow, and again the next day
as new code is checked in.
