I think I now understand why "write a script" was the right answer to my 
problem and why it will work, but now that I've started thinking about CVS, 
I realize I really do need to know more about it, so I -will- be taking 
advantage of your links.

Thanks for your generous assistance

Steve,

I did some digging in an attempt to find the CVS protocol specification. I
discovered that it's kept with the sources, not separately in the download
areas as is the PDF document I downloaded today (so I'll have something
more up-to-date than the 1.9 printed edition I have on my bookshelf).

According to this page, <http://www.cvshome.org/cyclic/cvs/dev-res.html>,
the protocol specification is in a TeX file "doc/cvsclient.texi" within the 
source tree. Your Linux system should have the tools for turning this into
something readable, whether PostScript or just formatted ASCII. Look under
the heading "CVS Client/server protocol."

I think this page will interest you in its own right--it starts out like
this "We like to see people working on CVS or software that works together
with CVS." There's other stuff there that will probably be helpful to you.

Randy
