Yes. But then I used a for-in loop to copy the CVS directories from the
checked-out copy into my latest distribution and ran cvs update in there. It
seems like it actually worked although I've had problems adding files and
creating directories. If I just do 'cvs add' it wants the actual file to be
added. It would be nice if you could just do 'cvs add' and have it search
for all new files. Anyway cvs add * get's me a little further.

Don't you have admin on this project? Can you try to sync up the latest tgz
with cvs?

How do you create directories?

[miallen at quark ndr]$ cvs add *
