i've created a cvs archive for the network tool to make it easier for us

to both work on it without stepping on each others' toes too much. cvs

is a wonderful tool and you should really read up on it if you aren't

already familier with it. at any rate, you will need to do the

following:



set the CVS_ROOT environment variable to /home/cvs

(i just put 'export CVSROOT=/home/cvs' in my .bashrc)



go to a web accessible directory such as your /home/httpd/html/gcweb,

and type 



	% cvs checkout network



this will create a directory called network with all the files for the

project in it. then you can go to town on those files. when you change a

file and want to have the central archive changed to match it, do



	% cvs commit whatever_file.java



it will then drop you into vi to let you enter a commment on what the

changes you made were. 



if you create an entirely new file that you want added to the central

repository, you have to first add it, then do a commit on it. ie:



	% cvs add foo.java

	% cvs commit foo.java



you'll also want to periodically update your copy of the archive so that

it will match any changes i've made. so whenever you reach a stopping

point, do 

	

	% cvs update



from within the network directory.



i try to keep .class files out of the cvs repository since they're

redundant. so you'll need to build everything first, before it will be

really useful. DBServ.java and Graph.java are the files that you need to

compile to get the server and applet classes. then you need to have the

server running before you fire up the applet in a browser. i've also

been sticking javadoc comments in everything and keeping the

documentation in cvs as well. so if you change any documentation, rerun

javadoc and commit the html files as well.



let me know if you have any questions.
