CVS

The source control system we use is CVS. Its homepage is at http://www.cyclic.com/.

For those of you new to CVS, you can visit the CVS homepage for information. By far, the best reference I have found is the free The CVS Book (available for free online), especially the first chapter.

If you will be programming in Windows NT, you will need to either dowloand the basic command-line CVS or the GUI client WinCVS.

• Using PCL CVS on NT Emacs is useful if you use emacs (but I have not been able to get it to work :-(

The CVS server is at source.cse.sc.edu, and the directory is /usr/local/cvsroot/radsimclient. You will need a username and password, which you can get by going to source.cse.sc.edu and creating a new account. Before you do that, make sure you read the FAQ.

Current Code

If you dont want to check out the module, you can also simply visit the RadsimClient developers' page where you will find our latest source code, API, mailing lists, tasks, bugs, nightly build, etc.

Our old simulator ants is also available, as well as the Software API (might be a bit dated). It implements the original "Blacklist" algorithm and has the advantage that it can run as an applet. Its pretty neat.

Useful Pointers

• Ants Teamroom (sorry, only those of us with passwords can go in.)
• Ants Program homepage.
• The Sanders Ants page for info on the ECM challenge problem and hardware API specs.
• The Airforce Research Laboratory AFRL/IFTB Ants homepage, which has links to all the other projects' homepages.
• The May 2000 PI Meeting.

  Radsim

  The radsim simulator is kept under our CVS server, source.cse.sc.edu:/usr/local/root/radsim. The original version can be reached by:

  In Unix, here the "command" you have to use:
  
  $ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@ants.cs.umass.edu:/nfs/rogue/u0/cvs login
  passwd: cvsants 
  
  $ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@ants.cs.umass.edu:/nfs/rogue/u0/cvs co radsim
