 C.1.3 Ampersand modules
 -----------------------
 
 A module definition can refer to other modules by including `&MODULE'
 in its definition.
      MNAME [ options ] &MODULE...
 
    Then getting the module creates a subdirectory for each such module,
 in the directory containing the module.  For example, if modules
 contains
 
      ampermod &first-dir
 
 then a checkout will create an `ampermod' directory which contains a
 directory called `first-dir', which in turns contains all the
 directories and files which live there.  For example, the command
 
      $ cvs co ampermod
 
 will create the following files:
 
      ampermod/first-dir/file1
      ampermod/first-dir/file2
      ampermod/first-dir/sdir/sfile
 
    There is one quirk/bug: the messages that CVS prints omit the
 `ampermod', and thus do not correctly display the location to which it
 is checking out the files:
 
      $ cvs co ampermod
      cvs checkout: Updating first-dir
      U first-dir/file1
      U first-dir/file2
      cvs checkout: Updating first-dir/sdir
      U first-dir/sdir/sfile
      $
 
    Do not rely on this buggy behavior; it may get fixed in a future
 release of CVS.
