Re: Changing the type (text --->binary) of a file already in CVS

Hi Alain,

Explore "cvs admin -kb top-level-module/sub-module/....../file-name".

From the man pages:

Usage: cvs admin [options] files...
        -a users   Append (comma-separated) user names to access list.
        -A file    Append another file's access list.
        -b[rev]    Set default branch (highest branch on trunk if
omitted).
        -c string  Set comment leader.
        -e[users]  Remove (comma-separated) user names from access
list
                   (all names if omitted).
        -I         Run interactively.
        -k subst   Set keyword substitution mode:
           kv   (Default) Substitute keyword and value.
           kvl  Substitute keyword, value, and locker (if any).
           k    Substitute keyword only.
           o    Preserve original string.
           b    Like o, but mark file as binary.
<-------------------------------
           v    Substitute value only.

HTH,
Chaitanya
