Underneath the section heading 'Obtaining CVS' it lists the

primary CVS ftp site as Cyclic.com. This is no longer true.

The current ftp site is 'ftp.cvshome.org'.

This correction should also be made in the footnote, and on page 9.

Also, CVS version 1.11 was just released, and is also available on the
ftp site, or at www.cvshome.org.

last two bullet points

I believe the --allow-root parameter should be /usr/local/cvsrep instead of
/usr/local/cvsroot since the repository location is set to
/usr/local/cvsrep in the "Creating a Repository" section on the same page.

1st Option

"-i prog" should be "-o prog"
Run the program prog when files are checked out from the module;
the module name is passed to prog as the sole argument

-i is on the previous page (last option on page 21)

Paragraph right after the table beginning with "Keyword substitution fields"

I think the sentence should read:
"Keyword substitution fields are strings of the form $Keyword:...$."
I.e., the keyword needs a colon following it in order for the expansion to take
place. At least in my testing, I can't get the expansion to take place unless I use
the form: $Keyword: $, i.e., with a colon.
