Hi, I'm using Win95 and WinCVS, for my final year project and I really need some help with this last part. I've got a directory in the repository containing one binary file (*.doc) I check it out to my working directory: 'cd c:\working' 'cvs co -A projecta\projecta' I can now view the file in MS Word. I then want to view a previous revision of the file. I use from the working directory where the file has been checked out to: 'cvs update -r 1.1' I get the following message: 'CVS.EXE update: Updating . U testdrafta.doc C:\working\testdrafta>' I then try to open the file in MS Word and it complains that it cannot open the file, and it tells me to make sure that it has a .doc extension....It does! I checked the properities of the file & they say that it is a MS Word document. So what I am I doing wrong? I've checked the user documentation and the mail list archives, but I'm still lost. Also, if I decide that I don't want to use that particular revision, can I just delete it from my working directory, or must I let CVS know that I don't intend to use it, and that the latest revision in the repository is fine? Any help or pointers will be greatly appreciated.
