Binary File Types

CVSNT has a default set of binary file types (see "All About CVS" page 259).

Notes that this doesn't include the Borland Project Group types files (*.bpg) or the BCBProject files (*.bpr).

TortoiseCVS will scan the first 4000 bytes to see if a file needs to be checked in as a binary file.

I don't know if WinCVS does any similar checking.

Additional files types can be defined as binary by add them in the cvswrappers administration file.

This can be done by checking out the CVSROOT module from CVSCNT, modifying the cvswrappers file and than checking the file back in.
