When the repository was on the linux box, I added them in via WinCVS1.2 as
binary files.  Then I moved the repository to a windows box.  Now that I am
using WinCVS 1.3 with CVSNT, when I go to checkout, the binary files are
corrupt.  It seems like it's more a problem with cvsnt than with how I
checked them in, since I know that I checked them in as binary files.

If you're using the command-line client, you must add the files using "cvs
add -kb file", so that CVS knows that it's binary. Otherwise it will try to
change the newlines in the file, which corrupts the file. TortoiseCVS has a
nice feature where it recognises binary files by their extentions.
