Now I have run into another funny. When I do a diff of a word document from
WinCVS it only checks out part of the file. If I manually check out the
whole thing it works.
I have csdiff set as my external diff program in wincvs.
I would have expected that if I am diffing a binary it would give me the
whole file.
Mike.

Hmm, I just try to shoehorn everything into a CVS problem, since
CVS is what I know. I guess I should get out more :-)

Either that or they've found the right DLL to call directly. Try:
- seeing what DLL's CSDiff refers to
- temporarily replacing your WinWord.exe with a little program
that appends its args and environment to a file, then exec's the
real WinWord (I'm saying this in UNIX terms because I've never
done Windows programming, but you get the idea I hope)

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea.
