You'd use

   cvs get -r imp project1

or similar. There's plenty of other options you can use, e.g.

   cvs -qz9 -d :pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/gcc
       get -r gcc-3_3-branch -d gcc33 gcc

will fetch you a copy of the GCC 3.3 branch into a directory called 'gcc33'.
You can get help from cvs itself with

   cvs --help get

or find docs online at http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/. Note that your
'get' is an alias for 'checkout' (as is 'co') so that's the command you
should look up.

We can probably cope with the basic stuff here but if you've got more
complex CVS problems you might do better on a CVS mailing list.

Good luck,
Rup.
