Thanks to all who replied, Paul Sander, Mark D. Baushke, and Allan Schrum. I think using ci to insert my files into an RCS repository looks like the ticket. Can I then import the RCS repository into a cvs repository? That looks like the a job for cvs import. Since the CVS repo is being newly created and will be empty at the start, it looks like I can just dump all of my files into the RCS repo and do an import into CVS. Am I reading the man pages correctly? Thanks again and have a Happy Thanksgiving (even if you live in another country and have never eaten cranberry sauce)! -- R.
