Ah, that's different -- I in fact didn't get what you wanted the first time :) I think the "precise" method would be to use the commit id. AFAIK cvsnt assigns a unique commit id to every commit. But also AFAIK, this is only available server-side, to commit support scripts and in the audit database. So if you have control over the server and can give yourself (possibly read-only) access to the audit database, you can run a SQL query or two and retrieve that information. I could do that, but I don't :) Just laziness, I guess, and it's rare enough so I don't have this tried yet. What I do is I look at the revision history of one of the files in that change set (the question usually starts to pop up based on a file I'm looking at), and that gets me the date/time of that particular commit. Then I can run my diffs with date/time selectors (one just before, one just after). <http://www.cvsnt.org/manual/html/diff.html> Gerhard
