I remember it well. I also recall that it broke in some strange fashion depending on whether your CVS repository was "local", "ext" or "pserver". And we never figured out why. I've kept cvscheck around and am still using it. I'll try out cvs update -qn. I still liked the human-readable output instead of the cryptic [MUCP?] letters, and the summary at the bottom (number of new/out of date/updated files). Ah, yes, cvscheck. I remember it well.

I’ve kept cvscheck around and am still using it. I’ll try out cvs update -qn. I still liked the human-readable output instead of the cryptic [MUCP?] letters, and the summary at the bottom (number of new/out of date/updated files).
