Hi folks,

I've been using CVS quite a bit recently, so heres what I'd do:

  1) create a binary data file: "data.bin"

  2) "cvs -ko add data.bin"

  3) "cvs ci data.bin"

  4) "cvs status data.bin" and notice that the "Sticky Options:" 
     now includes "-ko" meaning that cvs will understand that its 
     a binary file and shouldn't be diff-ed, etc.

hth,
Ed
