[cvsnt] Re: corruption of binary files on checkout

Sure.

My source tree has .zip .doc (Word docs), .bmp, .jpg (image files), as well
as source code files.

I imported a new module into my repository.  Without doing anything else, I
checkedout
the same module into another directory tree.

I binary compare the original file tree to the tree I just checked out and
the .zip's and the .doc
do not match - they are corrupted.  The binary image files (.jpg, .bmp, etc)
compared
properly.  Hense my comment that some files compared properly (the
image/picture files)
and some did not.   Perhaps you misunderstood my phrasing of 'image' files.
:)

The Word doc, for example, is exactly 21 bytes smaller than the original.

I tried both build 2125 and 2127 to the same result.

I hope this makes the problem clearer.  I really hope to stay with cvsnt,
since it's
much more fully featured than cvs!

Thanks for any assistance.

Corey.
