In my personal opinion, you should remove those files from CVS.

That is exactly one reason for a version control system. You can delete 
files without problems and if one day you found out it was a bad idea, you 
can always bring them back from the CVS.

Moving even one file is not so good:
- you are breaking revision numbers.
- CVS creates a new file with a content that is already in the old CVS 
file. (Lost storage space in the CVS server)
- your are not showing other programmers that this file is not anymore 
used.
- every other programmer must download the "new" file completely (lost 
network capacity and lost CVS server capacity).

With many files, these effects multiply worsening the problem.

If the new code is the same directory than the old code, you have to do it 
a little differently:
- make your code changes
- commit then to CVS with a forced revison number
	cvs commit -r2.0 -m "New version" your_directory
- remove in CVS all files that you will not use anymore in this directory.
- forced revisions are sticky, so you have to erase the stickyness with
	cvs update -A your_directory

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

By the way: I am not the person who worked on kformula last October.

I know some one worked on October on kformula. If you have no problem with
this I'm going to move old kformula somewhere and port it to new
libkformula2. (I don't know where to put the old code, right now there are
2 directory "old" and "notsoold", where I put it ? betweenoldandnew ? or
can I simply remove all this stuff (CVS will keep a copy ..) )
