Todd, your tip about the python version of the script came good. Thanks. Full responses are below but it's a bit academic now.
Now that I've got a changelog I'll take another look at whether we still need the $Log$ keyword in our output.

In fact, it comes with WinCVS, and that's the package I use under Windows. I updated to the latest WinCVS and found the option to create a changelog on the Macros | CVS menu. I already have Python installed (that's the language we use) so no problems running it. And it produces what I need, or could be customised for our needs. > Wouldn't happen to have a unix box, or knopix disk, handy so you could > try the script out? :) :-) No. We've embraced open source cross platform tools but personally I've not gone as far as installing *nix... _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
