Sorry I meant "-D" (WinCVS takes care of that stuff - I just click the
check box and enter the date it formats the command) :-(

Subject: RE: checkout problem
-d declares the CVSROOT on the unix client, whereas -D (according to
documentation) declares a date. I'm not really sure how these flags
would be applicable to WinCVS.
Also interesting to note that -D is a sticky option. Man page excerpt
follows.
-D date_spec
Use the most recent revision no later than
date_spec (a single argument, date description
specifying a date in the past). A wide variety of
date formats are supported, in particular ISO
("1972-09-24 20:05") or Internet ("24 Sep 1972
20:05"). The date_spec is interpreted as being in
the local timezone, unless a specific timezone is
specified. The specification is ``sticky'' when
you use it to make a private copy of a source file;
that is, when you get a working file using -D, cvs
records the date you specified, so that further
updates in the same directory will use the same
date (unless you explicitly override it; see the
description of the update command). -D is avail-
able with the checkout, diff, history, export,
rdiff, rtag, and update commands. Examples of
valid date specifications include:
1 month ago
2 hours ago
400000 seconds ago
last year
last Monday
yesterday
a fortnight ago
3/31/92 10:00:07 PST
