Hopefully someone can help with the correct way to change a file which
has been incorrected added to the repository as a Text File into a
Binary file. 
 
I have tried 
 
> cvs update -k-t "filename" 
> cvs commit
 
and that changed the file locally but when I re-checked out from the
repository the file cam eback as text.
 
I also tried 
 
> cvs update -kb "filename"
> cvs commit
 
and that had the same effect of making the file binary locally,but when
I re-created my sandbox the file was still text. 
 
Also tried cvs admin -kb "filename" but that returns a message bout it
not affecting future checkins and to use cvs update/cvs commit. 
 
Can someone please tell me how to change a filetype in the repository. 
 
Thank you,
Trevor
