You don't have to believe that - since it's not true ;)

It's not really "turning it off", its "turning on binary support".

If you don't want the "overheards" of text, but it is not binary then
the correct setting is -ko (ie: keyword expansion off).  To set a file
that is kkv (text) as ko do this:
cvs update -ko filename.ext
cvs commit -f -m "force this to disable keyword expansion" filename.ext

Regards,


Arthur
