   CVS is out of discussion   
      
   I have to handle still git, svn and bazaar   
   so either download via http, ftp works .. but please no addtl other   
   versioning system   
      
   so therefor again the question   
   is the source   
    -d:pserver:anonymous@makenl.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/makenl   
    co -P makenl   
   identical to the tarball for download from   
    http://makenl.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/makenl/?view=tar   
   ?!?

   than it is in sync, as I've unpacked the tarball downloaded as   
   http://makenl.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/makenl/?view=tar   
   and used it for compile in a plain version control system free directory   
   the only difference was the make file that doesn't work with the   
   long filename for the .watcom   
   so I have to customize this makefile so it works under 8.3 filename   
   convention, copied over the makefile from prev revision (3.3.3)   
   that did result in the %pat% missing declaration error message on compile   
   comparing the two makefiles on another machine revealed the   
   patmat.obj difference in the makefiles, that I've corrected in the   
   customized one ... all other source files .c, .h and whatever is still   
   in sync if you can confirm that the tarball for download under   
   http://makenl.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/makenl/?view=tar   
   is identical what you transfer under   
    -d:pserver:anonymous@makenl.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/makenl ...   
   to the central repository

   I still didn't get CVS up and running. So I can only use the sources listed   
   above.
