Subversion is a configuration management tool used by many software development projects. It is a client / server application which allows users to check-out and update (depending on privileges) the central repository. There are lots of articles on SVN on the web. For the gory details see: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/
There are two ways to view the software. You can simply browse the code on the web or you can get a SVN client and download one or more files. To browse the tree, simply click on Browse Source in the toolbar at the top of this page. If you want to build the full project from scratch you would want to use a client to get the full tree, Install the client software and then point the client to http://www.falconview.org/svn/FalconView.
Before you attempt to build please read the Build Notes.txt file in the "public" directory.
Most of our development team uses Tortoise available from http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ which integrates into your Windows Desktop. There are also command line clients such as sliksvn.
