Yes it is ediff (at least there is a buffer called 'Ediff Control Panel') It is
the diff-programm which I use after I started to 'examine' my directory with
pcl-cvs. When I than display the cvs-log-file for all files and then choose
from the new cvs-menu 'interactive diff' for one file, e.g. main.f, two new
buffers are opened called 'main.f' and 'main.f.BASE' which should show the
differences, but they are exactly the same. In my cvs-log the revisions for
'main.f' go up to 1.10 each with an on log-entry about the changes I made.

Even doing 'cvs diff -r 1.9 -r 1.10 main.f' on the console shows me that there
are differences between 1.9 and 1.10:

 
Index: main.f
===================================================================
RCS file: /home/fab/cvsroot/Simulation/16/code/main.f,v

Isn't that strange!? By the way, ViewCVS does not show the diffs too.

Yes, I have to do it, but as I mentioned above, there are none :-(
