Re: source code for rcs57nt / cvs-1.9-win?

[Donald Sharp]

Why don't you just fix vss2rcs.js to check the date returned by vss
and if it's greater than what could even remotely be possible change
it to a sane value?  Seems like a lot of work to hack cvs when you
should just hack the input script...
