I assume you mean "with non-line-oriented info".
The problem is not that it doesn't work, but that it still assumes
that lines are a meaningful unit, which is not the case for gzipped files
for example, so the result will be poor (tho correct).
But as long as the file is line-oriented, `cvs diff'
and `cvs annotate' work just fine whether or not you use -kb.

Sorry, I indeed misunderstood you.
