It will store binary but it is very inefficient to do so, and changes can be lost as there is no merging or enforced locking... It's OK for a few documents but trying to store your entire source tree is asking for trouble. In this case I would recommend using a different source control system. You will find it difficult to make cvs do what you want to do and it will be a very non-optimal solution. CVSNT converts newlines to the native file format in text only. This is almost always what you want (in fact I can't think of a legitimate reason to do it any other way). Tony -- "Wipe Info uses hexadecimal values to wipe files.
