Unfortunately, OP did not identify his platform, so it seems reasonable 
to assume (since he's asking on this list) that he's either using UNIX 
or cygwin (which is the best way to run the cvshome.org version of CVS 
on windows). Both of those provide a find command that works as 
described. If you're not running in the cygwin environment on Windows, 
I'd suggest using cvsnt along with some other way to collect files and 
execute commands on them. Most of the time, I advise windows users who 
are not using cygwin to get TortoiseCVS for everyday CVS use:

http://tortoisecvs.sf.net/

It's very well documented, beautifully integrates explorer, cvsnt and 
ssh, and does contain the "add recursively" command you want.

Does *anyone* use the cvshome.org version of cvs on windows OUTSIDE of 
cygwin as a matter of general practice? (AIUI, both wincvs and 
tortoisecvs use cvsnt, and eclipse has its own cvs client, so if your 
cvs use is one of those products the answer is no.) If so, what 
environment do you use it in?

What version of Windows is this? The output I get from that command 
outside of the cygwin environment on a windows 2000 or xp box is:
FIND: Parameter format not correct

At any rate, what benefit does adding files recursively carry over 
using "cvs import" and ignoring the vendor branch if you don't want to 
use it?
