Hello ... We have now provided the ability to browse through our CVS structure via a web interface ('cvsweb'). This allows you to compare differences in versions, see CVS commentary, etc. More importantly, there is a 'download tarball' link at the bottom of every page which will generate a tarball download of everything from the point in the directory tree you are downward. You can access this either via the new "Browsable CVS Repository" link under "Projects" on the bioconductor site or going directly to: http://franz.stat.wisc.edu/cgi- bin/viewcvs.cgi/?cvsroot=Bioconductor. Feel free to come forth with any questions ... -J
