  16 If you want read only source access to the source depot,
  17 follow the following instructions and you'll be set.
  18 I'm not using CVS, so it may be a bit more different
  19 than you're used to.
  20 </ul>
  21 <br>
  22 <center><h3>Directions</h3></center>
  23 <ul>
  24 <li>Get a copy of the perforce client from
  25 www.perforce.com. They have it for pretty much every OS
  26 and architecture you can throw at it. They'll probably port
  27 it for you if they dont have it.</li>
  28 <li>Set up the perforce client:<br>
  29     User Name (<b>P4USER</b>): readonly<br>
  30         Server Address (<b>P4PORT</b>): www.newos.org:9998<br>
  31     Client Name (<b>P4CLIENT</b>): YourFirstnameLastname
  32     (something unique)<br>
  33         If you're using the Windows GUI, you can configure this
  34 stuff with that, otherwise you'll need to set up
  35 environment variables to store this information. The above
  36 bold names are the environment variables you'll need to set
  37 before running 'p4 client'.<br>
  38     For example, using bash: export P4USER="readonly"<br>
  39               using csh: setenv P4USER readonly<br>
  40       </li>
  41       <li>If you want just the newos source and no extra stuff,
  42       only map //depot/newos/, to do this, set your client mapping line to <b>//depot/newos/... //yourclientnamehere/newos/...</b> instead of the default <b>//depot/... //yourclientnamehere/...</b></li>
  43       <li>Need some help with perforce? <a
  44       href="http://www.perforce.com/perforce/technical.html">Here
  45       </a> is a link to their documentation</li>
  46       <li>Some basic commands: (if using command line interface)<br>
  47           'p4 client': Allows you to edit your client spec<br>
  48       'p4 sync': syncs you with the source<br>
  49           'p4 sync -f': unconditionally grabs all of the source
  50   again, useful if you think you've gotten out of sync with
  51   the server<br></li>
  52   </ul>
