The viewcvs python code actually has several methods for parsing the RCS file. The most often used is to ask cvs to produce an rlog but it does look like there was an atempt to parse the RCS file directly, it looked like it was experimental and not well used. I'm not sure what cvsgraph does, it sounds like it parces the rcs file directly. Matt S.
