finding files missing from my workspace

[Andy Fish]

Hi,

I am a bit of a CVS newbie using the tortoise client.

I'm wondering if it's possible to do a recursive diff operation to show
differences for a whole directory at once.

Specifically my problem is this: I have deleted some files from my workspace
because I no longer need them in the project. When I commit, I would like to
delete them from CVS (or at least have the option).

However, I can't find anyway of asking the question "what files from CVS are
missing from my workspace?" apart from doing an update and looking at the
log (which gets them back - hardly what I wanted).

any thoughts please. Even if I can't do it in tortoise I'd welcome a way of
doing it from the command line

many thanks

Andy
