+To get the NTP distribution via anonymous CVS:
+
+    cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@www.ntp.org:/cvs/ntp login
+
+the password is: anoncvs
+
+    cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@www.ntp.org:/cvs/ntp co ntp
+
+after which the "ntp_update" script in the top-level of the tree should
+keep things in synch and properly timestamped.
+
+There are some mailing lists for the NTP CVS distribution.  For more
+information, send a message to <majordomo@ntp.org> with the "lists" in
+the body of the message.
+
+If you get NTP via CVS, you will need to build the release using GNU make
+and gcc.
+
+You can then "make dist" to build a release tarball that does not require
+GNU make or gcc.
+
+The reason GNU make and gcc are required is because the repository version
+of NTP does not have the make dependencies built-in.  These dependencies
+are created dynamically, and this dynamic process requires GNU make and gcc.
