I have a bunch of files under CVS control using CVSNT 2.5.0.2 on the 
client and the server.  One such text file is called F_Parent.dfm.  

Using the log command I see that my local copy is head: 1.1.  

My problem is that doing a diff, commit, or update does not show that my 
local file has changed or is different from the server version.  If I go 
to the server and look at the file F_Parent.dfm,v or compare the 
revision in CVS with my local copy using an external diff tool (Beyond 
Compare 2) it shows that my files are different in multiple sections.  
If I check out the module in a new directory and do a file compare with 
my default local directory it shows that they are different.

How am I supposed to get CVS to recognize that the file I have locally 
is different than the version in CVS?  And what could cause this?  I 
have many files like this.
