I don't want to be able to get the exact copies of what we released and therefore I'm storing these files in cvs. That's right, a map file is text, but I don't want it treated as text. I have to believe there is overhead in storing it as text and since I don't want any of the features you get from storing it as text I was hoping I could turn it off.
