cvs update -rRC_1_30_0 <filenames>...
cvs edit <filenames>...

[Make your changes]

cvs commit <filenames>...

# to get back to the main trunk:
cvs update -A <filenames>... 

I have fixed the last regression (the one with crc_test) in CVS, so
as soon as you've made your patch and we've had one more round of
testing, I'm going to tag it for release.  Please let me know the
instant you're finished.

Thanks,
Dave
