[Python-Dev] SourceForge vs Windows

[Tim Peters]

I have to get SourceForge developer access working with Windows (Win98SE,
specifically), so I'll write up detailed instructions along the way,
building on Mark Hammond's good clues.  Play along!  I'll accumulate
everyone's input & make a coherent how-to out of it.

Today's installment only covers the first step, as it took 12 hours for meto
complete it (rotten connectivity today, via 56K modem, requiring many
attempts at downloading before one succeeded):

I picked up the 1.1b14 version, released 19 Jun 2000, from

    http://www.wincvs.org/download.html

It's a 3.21 Mb zip file.
