Damn... I came to think of something... Could the real problem be that I 
have commited the files from a command prompt and the default is ascii???

I've never used cvs admin -kb and cvs update -A... Perhaps I'm going to 
learn it the hard way now :-)

Okay, the damage is not so bad... Only a bit irritating :-)

Question: Why not commit *all* files as binary files, even those that 
are ascii files? Is there a way to set default as binary files, from 
command prompt?
