Unfortunately, not too diligently. :( I'll try and put in what I have from
my
latest checkout from Perforce (probably missing a few entries) and then post
again here. One problem I have is getting CVS to add new files from a 'diff
-urpN <p4> <cvs>'. I guess I'll just go through the log and see where it
mentions that it doesn't know what to do about a file. File deletions may be
a
problem, but I'll see what I can do. ;)

Also, we'll no longer have the nice 'integrate' feature of Perforce. :(
