Bill,

But you don't need CVS to produce unified diffs.

Say you have an original set of files in a subdirectory called "orig" and a
modified set in a subdirectory called "work".  To produce a unified diff
just do:

diff -ur orig work > diffs.txt

That should take care of everything except new files you are adding.  You
can either send those separately, or manually include them in the diff:

diff -u /dev/null work/some/new/file >> diffs.txt

If your "diff" is from the dark ages and doesn't understand the "-u" flag,
GNU diff can do the job.

Hope that helps...

Cheers,
--nick

hey nick,

I haven't got CVS access sorted out yet from work.
This is all being sorted out from NY (me being in London)
We are working on setting up a a mirror of the sourceforge project within
our firewall.
At least with that, which would be refreshed daily, I would be able to CVS
update, diff etc.

Until that's set up, I try my best to make the process as painless as
possible for you guys...

Bill
