Dear Leena

> 1. What are the Attic folders in the CVS contain?
In CVS, you can't delete files, as it is the logic of a versioning system
that you can track the different versions of a file. If you decide to delete
a file at a certain point in the development process, the CVS hides this
file. This hiding is done by moving the file in the Attic folder. Thus, if
you open such an Attic folder you find there all the files wich aren't used
anymore, but had a meaning in the past.

Yes, as far as I know, that's the only possibility :-(
Therefore, it's better to make a checkout to your local file system and use
your file and text search utilities there ;-) You find the Java source code
in the project's download tarball too. The source code for the framework is
in source\viffw_source.jar, the proper vif application in
source\vif_source.jar.

BTW: What IDE are you using for Java (and XSL) development? My prefered IDE
is Eclipse. I've developed an Eclipse Plug-in which makes the development of
VIF domain object models much easier. If you have Ecllipse installed (of
plan to do so), I can send you this Plug-in.

Regards,
Benno
