Since I was up against a time constraint, I dug into this myself. I modified my prg to replace all CHR(0) with CHR(32). This worked fine, but I was still getting the "binary files differ". So I deleted the file from VSS and added an old version of the class with the CHR(0)'s removed. I then did checking out and in until I got to the current version. Everything works now. It appears that once VSS recognizes the file as binary (not because of the extension, but because the text file has a CHR(0) - or NULL - in it) it always thinks it is a binary.
