The problem with recreating some files is, that this recreation might not work at any future point of time (you've get a new compiler, and the old one is not available anymore), or you need exactly what you compiled some time before (for example, for crash dump analyses, having the exact same binary helps much). On the other hand, of course, you are right. CVS is not good in managing binaries. So, I would store them "off-line", as Frederic suggested in the other mail. Either make a tarball (.tar.gz or .tgz) if you are on a unix system, or generate a zip if you're running on Windows. On other OS, use something similar. Regards, Spiro. -- Spiro R.
