"vcp -v" says:  Unknown option: v

I got VCP with "wget --passive-ftp -m -nH --cut-dirs=1 -X /public/revml/dist 
ftp://public.perforce.com/public/revml". Basically, I downloaded the code 
inside the Perforce Public Depot with FTP and compiled it.

I don't think there's a problem with it because I can import it into Perfore 
just fine (i.e. RevML --> P4 works). In any case, I am just using a 
test-project for the time being so the entire RevML file is just 21K. It's 
at: http://www.inf.uth.gr/~karypid/output.revml

Indeed, I was just trying to double-check. I ran VCP using the -d option and 
the log file produced is at:

http://www.inf.uth.gr/~karypid/vcp.log

The way I read it, VCP indeed incorrectly ommits the module directory (and my 
cvs wrapper script's log verifies this).

BTW, I am using cvs 1.11.13.
