I'd much rather have support for cvs2cl in vc-cvs.el. Whoever installs rcs2log.bat into the CVS repository is welcome to change that variable name to something more appropriate. Perhaps `UNIX_SORT_PATH' would be better. If there is a similar problem with cvs2cl under Windows (I don't know since I don't use CVS) then presumably it could be solved by a similar wrapper. Francis
