That ">" is _not_ there; it is a cut & paste artifact, sorry.

I finally got it to work. I decided to look for Usenet clients for my
computer and saw one that was a SourceForge project. That author had
CVS setup directions for Mac OS X! Take a look at
<http://sourceforge.net/docman/
display_doc.php?docid=9468&group_id=26193>.
I used commands like:
cvs -z3 -d:ext:dlwalker_at_[hidden]:/cvsroot/boost co
boost/
and
cvs -z3
-d:ext:dlwalker_at_[hidden]:/cvsroot/boost-
sandbox co boost-sandbox
to do the work.
