[AG-TECH] AccessGrid 2.0 in Slackware 9.0

[Eric Olson]

Stephen,
If you want a safe version of the AccessGrid code from cvs, you can 
checkout the 2.0 branch.
  cvs co -r r_2_0_final AccessGrid
When the 2.1 release comes out, there will be a similar branch.

This is recommended over using the main branch -- where the code is always 
under development and can be unstable.
