And I'm glad to see you are all paying attention at the back!

The source is, of course, available for download as a tarball from

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=9028

and has been there since last March.

I'd still recommend the CVS route for downloading the code, though, as
it is a lot easier to keep the local code in synch with subsequent
changes on the CVS server.
