WinCVS produces a particularly garbled file, but the trailing CRLF can also be a problem. Has there been any discussion of a -o option to allow specifying the output filename? The only reason -p is used in these situations is that there is no other way to create an older version of a file under a new filename without stepping on the current file. - Bruce Hill
