It's basically just \ncopying the RCS *,v files over to the appropriate CVSROOT directory \nstructure and adding some Entries files. I think CVS even comes with a \n\"rcs-to-cvs\" conversion script.\n\nYeah, just checked: google for \"rcs-to-cvs.sh\"\n\n(I don't know how well it works, but I can't imagine that it won't do a \ngood job. CVS really largely is \"RCS with some scripts around it\")\n\n\t\tLinus\n"}]}
