I would recommend trying to use ANT http://ant.apache.org/   The reason
I recommend ANT is because of <CvsTagDiff>, which if I understand your
problem correctly this will help.

 

I am not going to go through getting ANT up and running, it is pretty
straight forward, but here is an example of what the target that you
will need to create will look like:

 

    <!--
=================================================================== -->

    <!-- CVS diff
-->

    <!--
=================================================================== -->

    <target name="cvs_diff">

 

    <!-- START: MODIFY THESE VALUES -->

        <property name="ant.home.dir"    value="MODIFY WHATEVER TO THE
HOME DIR OF ANT"/>

        <property name="cvs.module"      value="MODIFY WHATEVER TO THE
CVS MODULE NAME"/>

        <property name="cvs.tag1"        value="MODIFY WHATEVER CVS TAG
1 IS"/>

        <property name="cvs.tag2"        value="MODIFY WHATEVER CVS TAG
2 IS"/>

        <property name="cvsweb"          value="WHATEVER YOUR CVSWEB IS
THIS IS NOT NECCESSARY"/>

        <property name="cvs.report.dir"  value="C:\tmp"/>

    <!-- END: MODIFY THESE VALUES -->

 

      <property name="cvs.diff.file"   value="cvs_diff-${cvs.module}"/>

      <property name="cvs.diff.xml"
value="${cvs.report.dir}/xml/${cvs.diff.file}.xml"/>

      <property name="cvs.diff.html"
value="${cvs.report.dir}/html/${cvs.diff.file}.html"/>

 

        <echo message="ant.home.dir   = ${ant.home.dir}"/>

        <echo message="cvs.module     = ${cvs.module}"/>

        <echo message="cvs.tag1       = ${cvs.tag1}"/>

        <echo message="cvs.tag2       = ${cvs.tag2}"/>

        <echo message="cvsweb         = ${cvsweb}"/>

        <echo message="cvs.report.dir = ${cvs.report.dir}"/>

      <echo message="cvs.diff.file  = ${cvs.diff.file}"/>

      <echo message="cvs.diff.xml   = ${cvs.diff.xml}"/>

      <echo message="cvs.diff.html  = ${cvs.diff.html}"/>

 

        <cvstagdiff

            destfile="${cvs.diff.xml}"

            package="${cvs.module}"

            startTag="${cvs.tag1}"

            endTag="${vvs.tag2}"

        />

 

        <xslt in   ="${cvs.diff.xml}"

              out  ="${cvs.diff.html}"

              style="${ant.home.dir}/etc/tagdiff.xsl">

                 <param name="title"  expression="${cvs.module}
TagDiff"/>

                 <param name="tag1"   expression="${cvs.tag1}"/>

                 <param name="tag2"   expression="${cvs.tag2}"/>

                 <param name="module" expression="${cvs.module}"/>

                 <param name="cvsweb" expression="${cvsweb}"/>

        </xslt>

 

    </target>

 

 

 

Hope it helps,

Matt
