CVS gurus, I have some problems with *.rtf files - when I add them as text they become corrupt - MS Word fails to read the files. If I try to force them into CVS as binary (-kb), they are still showing up as encoding 'text' and MS Word still can't read them. The work-around for the time being is to use 'doc' which seems to work fine - CVS inserts them correctly as 'binary'. The ideal situation is to use rtf and insert as text (which rtf in fact is) and utilize CVS tags such as $Revision$, $Name$, $Author$ etc. We actually have the same problem with Symbian *.sis files - they are interpreted as text by CVS, regardless of using "add as binary" from the CVS client - and are consequently corrupted when files are being checked out again. Client: Windows XP Pro, WinCVS 2.0.2.4 (Build 4) Server: Win 2003 Server, CVSNT 2.5.03 (Scorpio) Build 2151 Any input would be much appreciated. -- Thomas
