You may want to compare the efficiency of storing these in CVS versus CVSNT (free/GPL runs on unix just like CVS). CVSNT has two binary storage techniques -kb (the same as CVS) and -kB which uses binary deltas that are often more efficient that -kb for binary files. Due to a bug in the MS C runtime library you wont be able to store gigabyte files in windows - but linux/unix are fine (I tested it just a few months back for a customer). Regards, Arthur
