Well, it is not perfect, but if you want to use 'cvs import', then
cvs import -d
will use the file's modification time as the time of import.
Otherwise, you will need to write a script to convert your source
files into RCS files and use the 'ci -d[date]' option to get the
timestamp information into place that you want to keep.
Good luck,
