What I am trying to achieve is to list the versioned files that have no pending modifications (didn't I say that in the original posting?)

Strange, perhaps, but not completely useless in that it does tell you something about the state of the current working set of files.

BTW - and sorry for posting the same question in two different emails, I thought the first one had not made it onto the list - I shall be more patient in the future.
