Indeed, and this is very wel explained on the 'Source via CVS' webpage.
Unfortunately for me I download to a Unix system and then connect from
RISC OS with NFS.

Actually, the first time I did this, I had read the instructions on the
webpage and loaded and ran RISCOSify. A week later, I had forgotten all
about it and wondered why the make process complained "don't know how
to make warshall.o".

It's probably forgetfulness due to old age. (:-)
