Yes the CVSAPI already provides this, this is what I was originally suggesting.

Or you could do as Tony suggested and call the audit trigger (which is a clean C API), the only trick there is getting the sequence right and the parameters right since it's designed to be called from CVSNT server during the commit/tag/whatever operation.

I assume you mean to read the RCS data?  No - we have no API for that in CVSNT (though we do in EVS).

Yes I think that is a good goal.
