Hi Gregory,
If you have a tgz file, you can extract it using:
tar xzvf file.tgz
If the tgz variable contained the source, you are done.
If you are saying that you have a tgz file that contains a CVS source
_repository_, then once you have unpacked the tgz file, you can set the
CVSROOT environment variable to the root of the CVS repository (eg.
export CVSROOT=/home/gregory/cvs), then checkout any cvs modules within
the repository using:
cvs checkout module_name
Hope this helps - your question was not really clear to me, so I may
have interpretted it incorrectly.
Cheers, Ben
