The human-generated documents developed by the software group 
are maintained in a CVS respository at /home/asg/cvsroot.  The
documents are arranged hierarchically by project starting with
NRAO at the top.  So the documents associated with the top-level
EVLA System design would reside at: nrao/evla/design.

To access these documents from a local NRAO machine:

1) On your workstation set the environment variable 
   CVSROOT to /home/asg/cvsroot 

   > setenv CVSROOT /home/asg/cvsroot
   or 
   > export CVSROOT=/home/asg/cvsroot

2) In a working directory on your workstation:

   > cvs co nrao/evla/design

   This will checkout (co) all the documents in the design sub-
   directory.


To access these documents from an offsite machine:

1) Set up your local CVS remote access method to use SSH.

   > setenv CVS_RSH ssh
   or
   > export CVS_RSH=ssh

2) Set up your CVSROOT to point to the remote cvsroot.
   (Note: you must have SSH access (i.e. a valid user account)
    on an NRAO machine that has filehost:/home/asg mounted.)

   > setenv CVSROOT :ext:username@host:/home/asg/cvsroot
   or
   > export CVSROOT=:ext:username@host:/home/asg/cvsroot

3) In a working directory on your local machine:

   > cvs co nrao/evla/design

   It will ask you for your NRAO user account password before
   proceeding and then will checkout (co) all the documents in 
   the design sub-directory.
