Recover a version controlled file from CVS

My company has stopped using CVS. I have an archived file name.cpp,v.

How can I recover the latest name.cpp ?

NOTE : I dont have cvs repository in place now.

Solution

  • Install RCS (it's small, go for it) if you haven't already.

    Then run co name.cpp in the same directory as name.cpp,v.

    It should "check out" the latest version.
