<note>
<para>The <application>csup</application> utility is a rewrite of the
<application>CVSup</application> software in C. Its biggest
advantage is, that it is faster and does not depend on the
Modula-3 language, thus you do not need to install it as a
requirement. Moreover, if you are using &os; 6.2 or later,
you can use it out-of-the-box, since it is included in the base
system. Older &os; versions do not have &man.csup.1; in their
base system but can easily install the
<filename role="package">net/csup</filename> port, or a precompiled
package. The <application>csup</application> utility does not
support CVS mode, though. If you want to mirror complete
repositories, you will still need to use
<application>CVSup</application>. If you decided to use
<application>csup</application>, just skip the steps on the
installation of <application>CVSup</application> and
substitute the references of <application>CVSup</application> with
<application>csup</application> while following the remainder of
this article.</para>
