Re: added text file as binary, want to change it to text

First, see if doing a "cvs admin -kkv" on the file produces meaningful results for you. If it doesn't, you'll have to re-add the file under a different name. (CVS' remove and add functions recycle the existing revision history, with all of its RCS attributes preserved.) If neither of these opti

Automatically have winCVS place version string in code.

CVSers Is there a way that winCVS can be set up to do some kind of a string replacement so that a tag can be placed in a version string in my code. This should happen when doing a commit I would think. We're always forgetting to update the version string and of course this confuses the heck out
