Getting BIE source through cvs

we use CVS to manange the BIE project. The first thing you want to do is getting the BIE source code.
here are the things you need to add in your shell script:

setenv CVSROOT username@kiwi.cs.umass.edu:/proj4/weinberg/cvsroot
setenv CVS_RSH ssh
setenv LAMHOME

By default, the CVS client uses rsh to talk to the CVS server. Many of the CVS sites no longer support rsh for security reasons
or a local problem like a firewall or imperfect protocolemulator such as slirp may prevent you from using rsh. The alternative is to use a "secure shell" connection using OpenSSH.

Most operating systems are known to integrate OpenSSH into the base system. such as: Debian Linux, Redhat Linux, etc.  If you don't have it, check out  http://www.openssh.com/

Once ssh is installed, one sets the environment variable CVS_RSH to point to ssh (typically /usr/bin/ssh). If your local site
prevents you from connecting out to port 22 (which ssh defaults to using) use port 2022.

setenv LAMHOME is required to properly use LAM/MPI Parallel Computing. If you want to know about it, check out  http://www.lam-mpi.org/

once everything is set correctly. simply type 'cvs co BIE ' will let you get BIE source.
