[MITgcm-support] pserver status?

[chris hill]

A.,

  I just checked

  setenv CVSROOT :pserver:cvsanon at mitgcm.org:/u/gcmpack
  cvs co -d foo MITgcm

  from a machine on the west coast.

  It worked OK.

  Quoted below is beginning of what I get if I do checkout with '-t' 
option (trace information). Can you try the same and see what you get.
