Thank you for such a straight answer, both of you.

I'll follow your advice and get it from CVS. The only
problem with that is that I'm behind a firewall that only
let's traffic trough on port 8080, so I can't connect to the
CVS server. I will get it from home instead and continue
the process on Monday.

Again, thank you for your time.
