Hi,
thanks for the answer.
We maybe will delete the tags because in our IDE they are all shown (dozens or even more), although most of them are of no value anymore. Its now a kind of visual noise because of this when looking at the tags.

The first questions which pops up in my head: Why do you
want to delete
them? Tags are very cheap.

Tags do not have a date. Thus, in order to do what you want, you would
have to use something like cvs2cl.pl to find out when a tag has been
created approximately, and use that information to in an automated way
(shell script) to delete the tags.
IMHO, it is not worth the time.

If you have the tag names (tag1 ... tag5), use
cvs tag -D tag1 tag2 tag3 tag4 tag5
If you have very much tags, exceeding the command line length, you might
want to have a look at the xargs Unix command (available on Windows via
Cygwin, too).
HTH,
Spiro.
