42    MITgcm can be downloaded from our system by following
43    the instructions below. As a courtesy we ask that you send e-mail to us at
44    \begin{rawhtml} <A href=mailto:support@mitgcm.org> \end{rawhtml}

47    to enable us to keep track of who's using the model and in what application.
48    You can download the model two ways:
49    
50    \begin{enumerate}
51    \item Using CVS software. CVS is a freely available source code managment
52    tool. To use CVS you need to have the software installed. Many systems
53    come with CVS pre-installed, otherwise good places to look for
54    the software for a particular platform are

62    .
63    
64    \item Using a tar file. This method is simple and does not
65    require any special software. However, this method does not
66    provide easy support for maintenance updates.
