<H2> 1.6 Where to Get Crystal Space </H2>
<!--docid::SEC7::-->
<P>
The Crystal Space home page contains the latest development and
official releases of Crystal Space. Here is a small note about the
difference between the official and the development (beta) releases: both
the official and development versions are actually beta. The difference is
that the official release should be more stable and will be easier to get
working as all documentation and makefiles are up-to-date. The development
release will probably have more features but it may not work very well on
your particular system, it may not work at all, or you might not be able to
compile it. But the development release may also work very well. You never
know.
</P><P>
The Crystal Space home page is located at:
</P><P>
<A HREF="http://crystal.linuxgames.com/">http://crystal.linuxgames.com/</A>
</P><P>
The Crystal Space <EM>Jump Start</EM> page, from which you can jump to many
destinations, is located at:
</P><P>
<A HREF="http://crystal.sourceforge.net/">http://crystal.sourceforge.net/</A>
</P><P>
The Crystal Space Developer's Project page is located at:
</P><P>
<A HREF="http://sourceforge.net/projects/crystal/">http://sourceforge.net/projects/crystal/</A>
</P><P>
The released Crystal Space packages can be downloaded via HTTP
from the following location:
</P><P>
<A HREF="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=649">http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=649</A>

<H3> Bleeding-Edge Developmental Releases (CVS) </H3>
<!--docid::SEC8::-->
<P>
<A NAME="CVS"></A>
Crystal Space is being actively developed. You can download
<EM>bleeding-edge</EM> versions of the project from the CVS repository
where the absolute latest copy is stored. There are two ways to access the
developmental version of the project.
</P><P>
First, you can access the CVS repository directly via a CVS tool.
Instructions for doing so may be found here:
</P><P>
<A HREF="http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=649">http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=649</A>
</P><P>
Second, you can download a snapshot of the CVS repository using HTTP.
Snapshots are generated daily and are accompanied by standard `<SAMP>diff</SAMP>'-style
<EM>patch</EM> files.
</P><P>
<A HREF="http://crystal.sourceforge.net/cvs-snapshots/">http://crystal.sourceforge.net/cvs-snapshots/</A>
</P><P>
You can also view the contents of the CVS repository online including
all of the historical information and administrative information.

<H3> Documentation </H3>
<!--docid::SEC9::-->
<P>
<A NAME="Documentation Resources"></A>
Documentation is included with the Crystal Space distribution. A gateway to
all documentation can be found in the file `<TT>CS/docs/README.htm</TT>'. You can
also read the <CITE>Crystal Space User's Manual</CITE> with your web browser by
loading the file `<TT>CS/docs/html/index.htm</TT>', as well as the <CITE>Crystal
Space Public API Reference Manual</CITE> by viewing the file
`<TT>CS/docs/pubapi/index.htm</TT>'.
</P><P>
Documentation is also available for online viewing. The <CITE>Crystal Space
User's Manual</CITE> is available for online viewing at this location:
</P><P>
<A HREF="http://crystal.sourceforge.net/docs/online/manual/">http://crystal.sourceforge.net/docs/online/manual/</A>
</P><P>
The <CITE>Public API Reference Manual</CITE> is available for online viewing
here:
</P><P>
<A HREF="http://crystal.sourceforge.net/docs/online/pubapi/">http://crystal.sourceforge.net/docs/online/pubapi/</A>
</P><P>
In addition, all of the above documents may be downloaded for offline viewing
from the following location. They are packaged with a variety of compression
technologies, including BZIP2, GZIP, and ZIP.
</P><P>
<A HREF="http://crystal.sourceforge.net/docs/download/">http://crystal.sourceforge.net/docs/download/</A>
</P><P>
Currently these documents are only available in HTML format, but may
be available as PDF, PostScript, DVI, and possibly other
formats in the near future.
</P><P>
Developers can generate their own copies of these manuals from the Crystal
Space source package by invoking certain makefile targets. The <CITE>User's
Manual</CITE> can be built as various output formats by invoking any of the targets
`<SAMP>htmldoc</SAMP>', `<SAMP>psdoc</SAMP>', `<SAMP>pdfdoc</SAMP>', and `<SAMP>infodoc</SAMP>'.
</P><P>
The <CITE>Public API Reference Manual</CITE> and <CITE>Developer's API
Reference Manual</CITE> can be generated in HTML format by invoking the
`<SAMP>pubapi</SAMP>' and `<SAMP>devapi</SAMP>' makefile targets, respectively.
</P><P>
These makefile targets place the generated output in subdirectories of
`<TT>CS/out/docs</TT>'. The hierarchy of subdirectories mirrors that of
`<TT>CS/docs</TT>' where the master copies of these documents are kept.
