Thanks a lot Mike, I guess I have finally been able to understand the problem. The link that u sent was definitely helpful. I guess the only thing the doc doesnt talk about (or doesnt say that explicitly) is the fact that the CVS ignores the -kb option even if specified. Anyways, what I did to get over the problem is to import all the files excpet for the ones which were identified as Unicode files. Checked them out to some other location on my comp and then manually added the files (the ones which were initially being identified as Unicode) as binary (-kb). This did work.
