Well I am not sure if that actually worked for me. I was working thru the WinCvs client and while importing the *.tar.gz file I changed the file attributes in the import dialog box to binary, but still the import didn't happen correctly even though CVS used the -W option. I could get it into the database correctly only by adding it as a binary file. Do you think I have done something wrong ? Is there a difference between the -kb option as specified alone and specified inside the -W option (I have never used WinCvs in the command line mode) ? The conclusion that I could derive was that if winCvs didnt recognize the file as binary by itself it isnt possible to import it as a binary file. Am I wrong ?
