If anyone has any good ideas on this, please reply to the group (as I'm sure you will
anyway). We are in the process of doing the same. We simply did a get on the latest
files and then imported them into CVS. Of course, by doing this, the history stays in
VSS. We'll keep it around for that reason, i.e. as an archive.

Speaking of converting to CVS from other systems - has anyone ever
converted a Visual SourceSafe repo into CVS? If so, do you have a script
laying around? I've convinced "the powers" that we need to switch from
VSS to CVS, but we've got several years worth of VSS history and I'd
much prefer to retain it in the switch. (Said "powers" don't see any
advantage to doing this, but I know from experience how useful things
like cvs annotate are.)
