I just wanted to separate these two points from the whole message and repeat them, as I think they deserve it. 1- Add a file as text whenever possible. 2- If you don't want that line end characters get converted according to the client platform, you must add a file as binary. (Some proprietary formats, even though they are basically text, may not like their line ends to get converted.) 3- If you don't want a file to get merged by cvsnt, you must add it as binary. (Some formats, even though they may be text, may not be mergeable by cvsnt. The RTF format maybe falls in this category, as do other automatically generated formats.) Gerhard
