Obtaining TRAMP.
****************

TRAMP is freely available on the Internet and the latest release may be
downloaded from `http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/tramp/'. This
release includes the full documentation and code for TRAMP, suitable
for installation.  But Emacs (21.4 or later) includes TRAMP already,
and there is a TRAMP package for XEmacs, as well.  So maybe it is
easier to just use those.  But if you want the bleeding edge, read
on......

   For the especially brave, TRAMP is available from CVS.  The CVS
version is the latest version of the code and may contain incomplete
features or new issues. Use these versions at your own risk.

   Instructions for obtaining the latest development version of TRAMP
from CVS can be found by going to the Savannah project page at the
following URL and then clicking on the CVS link in the navigation bar
at the top.

`http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/tramp/'

Or follow the example session below:

     ] *cd ~/emacs*
     ] *cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/tramp login*
     
     (Logging in to anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org)
     CVS password: *(just hit RET here)*
     ...
     
     ] *cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/tramp co tramp*

You should now have a directory `~/emacs/tramp' containing the latest
version of TRAMP. You can fetch the latest updates from the repository
by issuing the command:

     ] *cd ~/emacs/tramp*
     ] *cvs update -d*

Once you've got updated files from the CVS repository, you need to run
`autoconf' in order to get an up-to-date `configure' script:

     ] *cd ~/emacs/tramp*
     ] *autoconf*
