Hi all,

I've just tried to retrieve the latest version of ng-spice using 
CVS but found that the directions given on this page:

     http://ieee.ing.uniroma1.it/ngspice/cvsaccess.html

did not work. Here is the the session transcript:

erikd@coltrane > export 
CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@ieee.ing.uniroma1.it:/var/services/cvsroot
erikd@coltrane > cvs login
(Logging in to anonymous@ieee.ing.uniroma1.it)
CVS password: 
erikd@coltrane > cvs co ng-spice-rework
Sorry, you don't have read/write access to the history file 
/var/services/cvsroot/CVSROOT/history
Permission denied

Secondly, I wondered if anybody had considered replacing ng-spice's
current command line interface with the GNU libreadline which has all 
sorts of nice features like history, command line editing etc.

Ciao,
Erik

PS: One more thing. It would probably be really nice is whoever is 
responsible for the web pages could change the download page to just 
point to the ftp directory. Currently, the download page says the
current version is ng-spice-rework-3 and the download link doesn't
work.
