Bob i am no expert, but if you look at the slave cylinder mounted by the firewall drivers side and have someone pump the clutch watch to see if the fork moves if not feel around the slave cylinder and hose as well as master. If there is any type of leak, i would replace all (chances are they are all equally old) and besides the price is minimal. Howeverif the fork moves significantly you may have a bigger problem.

Bob, my Audi will sometimes do this after sitting for months (winter car). For the past two years, I've been able to get it working again just by moving the pedal up/down for a few minutes. Might be worth a shot...
