I am happily running cvsnt (1.11.1.3 (Build 57a) ) on Win2K The text file functions have been great and it has already saved my butt a bunch of times. I tried to retrieve previous revision of a binary file and it comes back as garbage. The byte count is bigger by 382 bytes. It's a jpg file and every submission has the -kb option on it (wincvs thinks it's binary as it was told). I checked this on all my binary files (.doc, .gif, .jpg, etc.) and they are all munched (I didn't check if the byte difference was consistent I suspect not from a brief look). How do I keep useful previous revisions of binary files using CVS or do I? I've read about locking and unlocking binaries but the documentation isn't clear and I don't understand why/how the file locking thing works. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks mike stewart
