Binary File Reclaiming

[Furmaniuk, Michael]

  I was trying to look through the archives on this but can't find anything
that's close to what I am seeing, or my searching on the archives is bad.
I'm trying to reclaim a binary file that someone has removed, there are only
two versions in the repository v1.1 and v1.2, v1.1 is the original version
and v1.2 is the dead version.  I've tried to do the update -j 1.2 -j 1.1
with the file and then add the file back in, but when I try to commit the
file I get the error:

cvs server: cannot add file `visa.gif' when RCS file
`/usr/local/CVS/webSystems/comcastnet/www/images/visa.gif,v' already exists
cvs [server aborted]: correct above errors first!

  Status shows it as locally added.

  We are still running CVS 1.9 server on Solaris, soon to update to CVS
1.11, is there a way to get the file back to version 1.1?
