There are separate newsgroups for both CVSNT and WinCVS - check the web sites for the links or look at the bottom of this e-mail after my signature. Todd knows a lot about 'non-gnu CVS' but nothing much about CVSNT, and 'non-gnu CVS' is generally used on unix so the answers you get here will generally rely on CVS only commands and also rely on unix commands like grep and sed and awk. > , so when I do an update or pull based on a > label or tag, I get a very crude list of files > with no details and the detail is in WinCVS gui. > So I downloaded the free standing cvs.exe There is already a cvs.exe on your system before you downloaded another - you can even see WinCVS executing the cvs.exe commands in the command window. Cvs.exe is usually in the same folder as WinCVS (but does not need to be). > and gnu command tools and I may be able to write > use your scripts to get what I need. Except you probably do not need those scripts - if you just ask on the correct newsgroup or read the cvsnt manual you will find that CVSNT will provide a list of file revisions very easily, eg (I haven't really looked at your question so this is just a guess and no substitute for asking in the correct place): cvs rls -lq path/on/server Regards, Arthur Barrett CVSNT newsgroup: http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt or news://news.cvsnt.org/support.cvsnt WinCVS newsgroup: http://groups.yahoo.com/subscribe/cvsgui TortoiseCVS newsgroup: http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=48103
