I more and more get the impression that what you really want is a repository
view as VSS offers it, i.e. you want to see others' updates and additions to
the repository automatically. Is that it? In that case, you could use
CVSNT's ls command to browse the repository. I doubt however that this is
somehow exposed in one of the SCC-interfaces for CVS as it's not a standard
CVS-feature but a CVSNT-specific one.

Moreover, I still don't understand why you don't just do a normal update.
Locally modified files will not be overwritten by that if that's your
concern. In case there are any changes in the repository to files you have
modified locally, the remote changes will simply be merged with your own
ones (CVS even automatically creates a backup copy of your unmerged modified
file) leaving your own changes intact.

Cheers,

Oliver
