'C-h k =' in PCL-CVS (BTW, why is it called PCL?) gives cvs-mode-diff is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `pcvs'. (cvs-mode-diff) Diff the selected files against the repository. Wrapper function that switches to a *cvs* buffer before calling the real function `cvs-mode-diff-1'. It really did puzzle me that the functionality was missing. The VC mode seems to be more user friendly though? But perhaps less flexible? -- Ole Laursen http://www.cs.auc.dk/~olau/
