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???


Perhaps.  The file type is set when you first add the file, not when you
commit.


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


Please.  I strongly suggest reading at least parts of the manual:

        <http://ximbiot.com/cvs/manual/cvs-1.11.21/cvs.html>

If you're actually using CVSNT, you'll need to find its manual since
parts of it are radically different from regular CVS.


Question: Why not commit *all* files as binary files, even those that are ascii files?


Because CVS is primarily a *source* control system and you want source
files to be in the correct format for the system you're currently
working on, not the system where they were originally created.


Is there a way to set default as binary files, from command prompt?


You can use the cvswrappers file to do that, although it's not a good
idea unless you really have no interest whatsoever in supporting
multiple platforms.  See the previously mentioned manual for details.

What's different between a linux, a macintosh and a windows system (text files) except for the line endings?

And those can be taken care of very easily.
