hello.

I want to use cvs to fetch some codes from j3d.org.
When I do "cvs -d CVSROOT=:pserver:[email protected]
j3d.org:/home/cvs/j3d/cvsroot checkout code " in
cvs directory, I get error message "connection refused".

what's wrong ? could some one help me?

J3D.org CVS Information
This entire site is managed using CVS. It is possible to download everything to your machine to keep up to date. Warning - it's big! As we don't provide a convenient zipped form of the site, this is the only way to fetch it.
Software
If you do not know what CVS is, or you know but don't have any software, then you should pay a visit to the CVS Homepage. CVS allows you to do incrememental updates of files as they become available, as well as rollbacks to earlier versions. Thus, the files that you download from CVS may not always be in a compilable state, but they'll be the latest copy, pretty much whatever the developers are working on at the moment.
Downloading
Anonymous cvs read access can be had by using the following CVSROOT setting:
CVSROOT=:pserver:[email protected]:/home/cvs/j3d/cvsroot
There is no password required. (ie hit enter when asked).
Of course, you need to know what to download once you have logged in. Here is a list of all modules in the system. A few of them are definitely work in progress and not pretty. Buyer beware!

Module Description
code The j3d.org code repository
code_website The code.j3d.org repository website
faq The raw contents of the FAQ. Text and XML files
faq_code Java code used to generate the FAQ
ftp The raw contents of the FTP site
scripts Various scripts used to maintain cvs and the site
setup Raw files, templates etc to get working
website The core pages of the main website (www.j3d.org)
jobs The nacent, yet uncomplete jobs area

ps. my os is Win98.

Your more hints are very valued.
