Problem transferring text files with characters other than ascii

Question

I have an html file containing some Greek characters, and whenever I try to commit it, I get:

commitlog: file = "dummy.html" appears to be BINARY Error commitlog: file = "dummy.html" appears to be BINARY, but is checked as ASCII cvs commit: Verification error before commit

I use: cvs add -kk dummy.html cvs commit dummy.html

Is there a way around this and pass the file as text and not as binary.

thanks

Answer 1

It depends on how your files are encoded. For example, if you use utf-8, CVS may treat this as regular text files.
