If you are saying that you have a tgz file that contains a CVS source _repository_, then once you have unpacked the tgz file, you can set the CVSROOT environment variable to the root of the CVS repository (eg. export CVSROOT=/home/gregory/cvs), then checkout any cvs modules within the repository using: cvs checkout module_name Hope this helps - your question was not really clear to me, so I may have interpretted it incorrectly.
