Maicon,
Just following up on Jim's comment:

You may want to consider CVSNT Server (GPL, free, open source,
Linux/Windows/Mac/Unix support) and use -kB option for binary files (it stores
a binary diff rather than the entire binary image for each revision).
For more info contact the CVSNT newsgroup:
http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt
or
news://news.cvsnt.org/support.cvsnt
Generally source code generated by windows programmers can be stored in ASCII
(-ko) or Unicode (-ku) format more efficiently than binary (-b or -kB), however
if you want to version images, PDF's, or even EXE/DLL/CPL files then -kB may be
the best option.
Regards,
Arthur
