Remember that this is a client-side tool and you need one license per client. Of course it'll help you only if you work with programs that use the SCC API. > I don't follow this.

Is that what you mean? Yes. There are two ways: you can specify options in the cvswrappers (for certain file extensions) -- with the disadvantage that this may be overridden by client-side tools that use their own -k options --, and you can specify them in the cvsrc file (for certain commands) -- with the disadvantage that they then apply to all files. Since you seem to want to use exclusive checkouts on Windows clients only, maybe adding something like "add -kBc" to your cvsrc file gets you what you want: all files added as exclusive checkout binary files.
