'cvs up -p -rHEAD main.f | diff main.f -' will give you what you want.

Note that you may use 'cvs diff -rBASE -rHEAD main.f' will tell you the
difference between the baseline version and the top-of-branch in the
repository.

If main.f is locally modified, then 'cvs diff -rHEAD main.f' shows you how
should show you what would happen to the top-of-tree if you committed your
curent change presuming that your main.f was up-to-date. It is possible that
a 'cvs update' would cause conflict markers to be added to the file.

        Enjoy!
