The following link should do the job:

http://web.archive.org/web/20051106041347/http://www.fermi.demon.co.uk/CM_Resources/CVS.pdf

P.S.: Oliver could you please update the link in your FAQ-document. Thanks!!!! 

I think we should copy this document somewhere else (out side of the archive.org servers). It depends on the 'GNU Free Documentation
