RE: why does wincvs show all files as modified

Ok, I'm confused. I'm having the exact same problem - since Monday morning,
after daylight savings time started, almost all my files show as modified
even though I have not modified them. And I'm using wincvs, 1.3.4.3 Beta 4
(Local Build 3).

My understanding is that the "status" command is for displaying the status
of a directory and its files, and that it doesn't change anything. Maybe I
don't understand what "statusing" the directory means; I am fairly a newbie
with CVS/wincvs - only a few months. What I did was: click on the directory
to select it, pull down the "Query" menu, and select "Status". I get a huge
status list in the viewing window down bottom, but no changes to the file
system. Everything still shows as "modified". The CVS Entries files are
unchanged.

I must be doing *something* wrong, since at least two people say that this
will fix the problem. This is driving me crazy! Thanks for any and all
help!!!!
