It is true that I don't know much about CVS, hence the stupid questions,... and I don't want to start a discussion of where to ask questions but... IMHO, the ascii/binary property is linked to CVS (CVSNT in my case) which is 'plugged-in' into Eclipse. This property is related to how the files are saved and treated by CVS no? As you said yourself: "when you add a file to a CVS module usingthe "cvs add" command then you should also set the file type properly." Then the question was placed in the correct forum, no? meanwhile I understand the usage of the ascii/binary property and my questions was answered. Thank you all folks!
