I didn't get any answers to my original question, so I'm following it up
myself...

I've since read that \040 is used for spaces to keep the keyword string
"well formed" for the benefit of keyword search tools.  It appears that
dollar signs will also be replaced.  However, I don't need "well formed"
keyword strings at the client side.

Can I hook a script into CVS somewhere to filter a file coming out of CVS on
its way to the client?  Where would I put the hook?.

Thanks,
Ed J
