Coolness! Oliver says it's in 2.0.9 onwards. So, when is WinCVS 
going to pick that up? They are still back at 2.0.2

That is the first thing I tried. Since cvs knows it's the same 
revision and time stamp, it changes nothing. :-(
I did not see a way to force it. Is there one?
the "-C" option did not do it.

Well, that is one of the requirments we impose here to make sure
every new file has a $Header$ keyword in it. Also, what people
do lots of times to start a new file is copy the top part of 
the file (or more) and rename things. In that case, it is 
in a "substituted" form (i.e. filled out).

Thanks for the help!
