I have just tested to add a file named dummy.class, which is a copy of a text file, with the Add Binary button in WinCvs and what happens is that WinCvs checks the file and finds that it looks like a text file so it *asks* what to do. By clicking the Ignore button I force my selection as binary and WinCvs is quite satisfied. Next I commit the file and it is properly marked as -kb.... And I have *not* fiddled anything with any cvsrc or cvswrappers file to get this basic behaviour working, it has always worked and probably will always work. In this case I am running an old client against a newish server (Win 2000 Server): Client: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.0.12 (client/server) Server: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.0.38 (client/server) /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
