I'm using WinCvs to checkout the current version of boost from the cvs server. However, I found that I can not checkout some of the libs which are put in the Attic, though I can browse them through my internet browser. Anyone knows how to check these files out? (for example, the mpl lib) Any files in the Attic are either obsolete, or have been added only on a branch and have not been merged to the trunk yet.

Unless you are having a specific problem that requires a file from the Attic, then don't worry about what's up there (I suspect that's probably why it's called the "Attic" - out of sight, out of mind ;-) -- Jim
