    For Windows users looking for a graphical user interface to download the MultiPilot32 source code located at http://multipilot32.googlecode.com/svn/ , I have had good luck with the TortoiseSVN package.

      Hi Richard,

      yes is the same that i use ..

      I think that could be better to do a tutorial is not so simple to use the Tortoise  , that is the reason because i put also zip in download area.

      Best

      Roberto
