good day..

i have two question: one more specific, one more general

more specific:
    you know how 'cvs status <filename>' returns a bunch of info
regarding
that file?  is there any way to get just the specific information
that you
want?  for example, i get info on 7 fields.  is there a way to just
get info
on 'Status:'?  maybe by making some sort of low level cvs system
call? hmm..

more general:
    im working on a few scripts to make the programmer's interaction
with
cvs more elegant.  (thats where the above question comes in - im
looking to
parse cvs status output to be able to 'understand' it and run the
appropriate actions given its status.) are there any such tools out
there?
is there anything (out there) regarding this which would be useful to
know
(read, etc)?

basically, im looking for anything that would help with making the
programmers interaction with cvs more elgant...

thanks a bunch..
