I'm not very knowledgeable about the differences between CVS and CVSNT RCS files, but IIRC CVSNT has a few additional fields and escapes one or two that had troubles with the 'standard' version and modern field values (e.g. spaces in usernames). I don't have a direct answer for you though--Maybe you can get the author of cvs2p4 to update the tool to account for the differences? -- Glen Starrett
