Yes, you can use ``cvs admin -kb'' to change the keyword substitution mode. IF (and that's a big IF) the files were added on a platform that doesn't distinguish between text and binary files (e.g., Unix), then that's all you need to do (although anyone who currently has that directory checked out [like said developer] will need to do update -A to update their working directory appropriately). Otherwise, you'll have to have the developer force a checkin in binary mode to ensure that the repository files are correct. -Larry Jones These pictures will remind us of more than we want to remember. -- Calvin's Mom _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
