Peng Jian, As far as I am aware - traditional CVS only accepts characters in the US-ASCII codepage unless it is marked as binary. If you mark it as binary then you will not be able to do diff/merge.
CVSNT is an open source (free) replacement for traditional CVS available for Linux, Unix, Windows, Mac OS X etc etc, that supports multiple code pages and also Unicode files. You can download it here: http://www.cvsnt.com This page talks a little about it: http://www.cvsnt.org/manual/Substitution-modes.html If you are using CVSNT 2.0.58 server and client then most likely you will not have to change any settings - it will simply work properly the first time. You can check which version you are using by the command "cvs -v". CVSNT is the default client for use with WinCVS and TortoiseCVS. You may also be interested to check out the open source (free) newsgroup for CVSNT: news://news.cvsnt.org/support.cvsnt Or http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt Regards, Arthur Barrett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > Hi, > > I have some text files which contains Chinese characters. > I imported them to cvs as text files. > Now I check them out, and every file has been changed greatly. > They are anything but what I want. > Shall I treat them as binary files to get the correct result? > > Peng Jian > > > _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
