Description Jakub Dadak 2001-06-01 07:11:20 UTC 
It'll be very good to have suport for binary files with CVS in NB IDE because if
somebody working on webapplication, it;s not comfortable working with images
by hand.
Comment 1 Jiri Kovalsky 2001-06-01 09:15:47 UTC 
This has already been implemented in vcscvs module. You can handle binary files 
this way:
1. Turn on "Advanced Options" property of CVS filesystem.
2. "CVS|Add" on your binary file. Complex "adding" dialog comes up.
3. Select "Binary (-kb)" flag as "Keyword Substitution", type in description and
   push "OK" button.
4. Turn off "Advanced Options" property of CVS filesystem.
5. "CVS|Commit" will create the first revision and the rest is up to you ... :-)
Enjoy !
