Where do files go when I check them out with CVS?


I am trying to setup mspgcc to do some microcontroller programming. I have never used cvs before. The only way to get the files so that I can build them for my slackware systems is to use CVS on source forge. I have used the commands shown on the sorceforge page:

Code:
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@mspgcc.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/mspgcc login
 
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@mspgcc.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/mspgcc co -P <modulename>
This appears to download the files for the module that I put in place of <modulename>. But where did it go? the -z3 is the compression setting so I should expect to see a compressed file somewhere, but where? I can't seems to find references to this anywhere, either here or elsewhere on the net.

Thanks in advance,
Eric

They get downloaded to the current directory by default.
