As a result, I’d recommend you get the latest version from CVS instead of downloading a binary. That way, you’ll be sure to get the latest and greatest in features. You can find complete instructions on getting Zeus from CVS at the web site, but in short, you’ll need to get CVS (from http://www.cvshome.org, for example). Simply use the following command:

Enter “anoncvs” as the password. Then:
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@enhydra.org:/u/cvs co toolsTech/Zeus
You’ll get everything you need. Change into the Zeus directory (which is created by the CVS download), and build the binaries:
