where can i find
 

the source for 0.5.7-dr6?

i can only find 5.6 dr-1

ouch well hrmm suppose i could give that one a shot

didnt work with my client any other ideas?

If you use CVS to checkout the source, you can use the -D switch to specify a specific date.

As far as version releases, this is what I have been able to gather from old news pages & the archived forum threads:

0.5.7-DR4: 5/27/2004, but still current thru 6/14/2004?
0.5.7-DR6: Before 9/24/2004 & 7/4/2004, probably closer to 6/21/2004.
0.5.9-DR1: 10/8/2004?
0.5.9-DR2: 10/10/2004?

One other thing to keep in mind is the 2 different CVS repositories: eqemu & eqemulator. The first stopped being updated around 4/8/2004 based on the changelogs and the 2nd is the current repository, so based on that, I assume 0.5.7-DR6 would be in the current repository.

Hope this points you in the right direction.

yeah i tried that looks like they actually cleaned the repo at some point cause it kicks a bad file or directory error or some such
