The most recent version of my pvcs2rcs.pl script is distributed with
CVS in the contrib directory.  After it runs all you need to do is
move the generated RCS file into a CVS repository.

I checked at least one of the other links you were sent in response to
this question and it looks like a derivative of one pvcs2rcs.pl, but
possibly one of the early versions.  I've fixed quite a few bugs in
pvcs2rcs.pl over the last few years and I know it works pretty well.

Cheers,

Derek
