You can find the original script at:

http://www.laine.org:8080/cvs/vss2cvs

I sent the maintainer a version that adds additional options
        - turn sub-directory recursion off
        - not import files with specified extensions (e.g. .lib, .exe)
        - ignore all binary files for import

I have another change that only imports shared files from vss into cvs
once - the next time it encounters a shared file previously imported, it
checks a simple file into the appropriate cvs repository telling where
the file exists in cvs and lists all the shares.   I'm still working on
it, so haven't sent it to the maintainer yet.
