The basic principle is easy enough to apply if your conversion method is
similar to vss2cvs, check out every revision from vss and check it into cvs.
During the conversion to cvs, the date of check in in the old version
control system is added onto the end of every check in comment in cvs, in an
easy to find and parse format.
During post processing of the rcs file, the date is removed from the comment
field and written into the date field.
If you get the vss2cvs package, the post processing script is
"massagecomments.pl".
