Some systems distinguish between text and binary file (e.g., Windows) and some do not (e.g., Unix and Linux). If your system(s) do not distinguish between text and binary, you can import, add, checkout, etc. and all will work provided your files don't contain any strings that look like RCS keywords. If any of your systems (i.e., client and server, if you're using client/server mode) do distinguish between text and binary, then either you haven't done a fresh checkout that would show the breakage, or you're incredibly lucky and your binary file(s) didn't contain any problematic characters. > I know you could add -kb file and it do something as binary.

If a fresh checkout gives you good files, you should be able to just use admin to change the existing files to binary. -Larry Jones I've got an idea for a sit-com called "Father Knows Zilch." -- Calvin _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
