For years now, [Scotty] has rarely been maintained.  However, it was so superior in, say, 2000, 
that it still remains popular and is widely used in even commercial, "mission-critical"
applications.  Perhaps its most palpable deterioration is in source and binary repositories,
which seem monotonically to be falling away.  [CL] no longer can easily find downloadable 3.0.
I favor 3.0, even though Juergen calls it "alpha"; that simply reflects Juergen's high standards.
For my part, I find it more useful and reliable than anything from the 2.x series.

In any case, when I need 3.0 sources, I use anonymous [CVS], as J��¼rgen's
page 
[http://wwwhome.cs.utwente.nl/~schoenw/scotty/]
describes it (use password "anoncvs"):
    cvs -d ":pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de:/anoncvs" login
    cvs -d ":pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de:/anoncvs" checkout scotty

Well, in 2005 (14 Nov 2005, to be exact), those links give:

   # cvs -d ":pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de:/anoncvs" login
   Logging in to :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de:2401/anoncvs
   CVS password: 
   Unknown host anoncvs.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de.

I don't _think_ that's a firewall issue here but I'm looking into it.
