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 [source: "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 [source:"/FalconView/trunk/public/Build Notes.txt" 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 [http://www.sliksvn.com/en/download sliksvn].
