         <p><small>The tarball and zips includes all the JARs required by Castor, the
            docs and API JavaDocs. To fully install Castor, simply extract all the JARs
            into your classpath.</small></p>

         <p><small>The CVS snapshot includes additional JARs required to build Castor.
            It is self sufficient and does not require any external components, except
            for javac.</small></p>

         <p><small>The documentation set includes JavaDocs for the API and JavaDocs
            for the full source code, including class usage. A small documentation
            set without the full source JavaDocs is available in the tarball and
