Right, sorry for dropping this.  As I recall I was hoping for someone more
expert with WinCVS and some of the other tools to fill in the details
of how to make changes.

That's true.  The basic CVS procedure for developers looks like it is in 
place.  I don't think the WinCVS procedure was updated.

There never have been procedures for the release manager, but they would 
be basically the same as today.  I would expect we would name branches
exactly as we do now.  There may be some detail about how the
branch has to be created, but other than that it would be the same.
