I noticed that the nt/*.ico files were not checked into CVS as binary files, as they should be. Therefore, I did: (martin＠lasker) ~/x/ws/dev/nt $ cvs-rw admin -kb lisp.ico RCS file: /usr/CVSroot/XEmacs/xemacs/nt/lisp.ico,v done (martin＠lasker) ~/x/ws/dev/nt $ cvs-rw admin -kb file.ico RCS file: /usr/CVSroot/XEmacs/xemacs/nt/file.ico,v done (martin＠lasker) ~/x/ws/dev/nt $ cvs-rw admin -kb xemacs.ico RCS file: /usr/CVSroot/XEmacs/xemacs/nt/xemacs.ico,v This should be completely transparent to everyone, unless you actually modify these files. In the unlikely event that this is the case you should first make sure the CVS client doesn't get confused. Do: # Make sure you have no files modified in nt first rm -rf nt; cvs update before making changes. Martin
