The ".snd." business was one of the recent changes at Sourceforge -- the new way to use the Snd CVS repository is: cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/snd login cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/snd co cvs-snd (not "cvs.snd.sourceforge") -- I updated the note in README.Snd.
