OK, I read the manual and figured out how to get the revision number
inserted into the source file using $Revision$. What's the trick for
getting $Name$ to work. I'm using winCVS beta 1.3. The explorer like

something?
The $Name$ keyword is only expanded when you do a CVS export, or check
out with an explicit tag. $Name$ expands to the name of the tag used to
check out the file. No tag, no expansion.
