I'm answering to both of you :)

I have updated the faq entry and it now looks like this:

===========================================================================
Q: I have a large MS Visual SourceSafe repository.  How could I
convert it to use it from CVS?

A: There are two different scripts for that purpose:

Laine Stump <laine+info-cvs(at)laine.org> has taken scripts originally
written in Perl by Jerry Nairn <jnairn(at)realnames.com>, and enhanced
it quite a bit.  The result is available at:

        http://www.laine.org/cvs/vss2cvs/

Curt Hagenlocher <curt(at)hagenlocher.org> has written in JavaScript
another script, which is available at:

        http://www.hagenlocher.org/software/vss2rcs.js

===========================================================================

I will also delete the directory with my collection from server, to
get rid of any confusion (Heiko Nardmann's tool appeared to just list
files in VSS repository).

I will also unregister my "project" vss-to-cvs at
http://freshmeat.net.  Laine, Curt, please, take a time to register
your scripts at http://freshmeat.net/, to ease searching.

Thank you!
