WinCvs shows files that don't exist anymore as "missing", files that are new as "unknown" and files that have a different date as "modified". > Unfortunately WinCVS pretty much showed all files as having been > modified.

I would do it this way: - Copy the files. - Add all "unknown" files. - Remove all "missing" files. - Update (or status) all (or all "modified") files. Gerhard
