   Hello Jim, 

   Thanks for your message below. Here are the answers to your questions: 

   1. It is not only FNDB_T.jar that causes problems, there are also other 
   jar files in the repository /rep/fnagl that recreate the same errors below. 

   2. I have reproduced these errors with CVS Clients 1.11.19 and 1.11.17 
   and CVS Server 1.11.19, as shown below: 
C:\Temp>cvs version
Client: Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.19 (client)
Server: Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.19 (client/server)

   3. We did tag the .jar files as binary in the $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/cvswrappers 
   file as shown below: 

cvsadmin@su64sr20% more cvswrappers
.............................
# Known binary file types

*.aiff   -k 'b'
*.au     -k 'b'
*.bz2    -k 'b'
*.class  -k 'b'
*.dat    -k 'b'
*.dcu    -k 'b'
*.doc    -k 'b'
*.dll    -k 'b'
*.ear    -k 'b'
*.ejbgrp -k 'b'
*.exe    -k 'b'
*.gif    -k 'b'
*.jar    -k 'b'
*.jds    -k 'b'
*.jpg    -k 'b'
*.jpe    -k 'b'
*.jpeg   -k 'b'
*.mid    -k 'b'
*.midi   -k 'b'
.............................

   Please therefore reconsider this issue urgently for us here 
   at Credit Suisse, as this is causing further grief for a lot 
   of our CVS Users. 

   Cheers and Regards, Bogdan

First of all, thank you for your patience. You'd be amazed at the number 
of people who re-post their questions after only five minutes :=)

OK, some questions first off.

Is it only the file FNDB_T.jar that causes problems, or are there other 
files that cause these errors as well?

Which version of the client and the server are you using ("cvs version" 
will report the server version)?

One possibility is that the .jar files are not being flagged as binary. 
Do you have an entry in $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/cvswrappers for *.jar? If not, 
you can specify the wrappers option in the import command using 'cvs 
import -W'. Unfortunately, the manual 
(http://ximbiot.com/cvs/manual/cvs-1.11.20/cvs_16.html#SEC140) is a 
little fuzzy on exactly how you specify -W, and I've never used it, so 
you may have to experiment a little to find the correct syntax.
