Thanks for the reply. After looking into this further it turns out that this is not an issue with RCS but with CVS. CVS has a configuration variable *DateFormat* that needs to be explicitly set to *old*, otherwise the dates will be formatted with a '-' instead of '/'. I thought CVS uses the RCS binaries but it has its own code to handle keyword expansion. The reason I thought it was RCS related is because of the RCS keyword expansion. Amit
