A binary file in the repository is marked in the RCS file (filename,v) as a binary and as such the checkout should be exactly binary so there should be no corruptions. If you like I can look at this a bit more if you zip and email me one of the binary files (a pdf for example) from the repository (what I mean here is the document.pdf,v file). Then I can put it into my CVSNT server and look at what is going on. /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden) _______________________________________________ Cvsnt mailing list Cvsnt at cvsnt.org http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt https://www.march-hare.com/cvspro/en.asp#downcvs
