Binary files in RCS

[Ed Glace]

I seem to have a problem with binary files (namely “mdb” files).

 

If I execute the following statement on a text file – it seems to work correctly

without the file needing to be placed into my current directory.

 

co -p -r$srev1 $filename

 

On the other hand, if I try this with a Microsoft Access (mdb) file, it seems I cannot

open the file without actually having the file in my current directory.

 

Any thoughts on why this would be so?

 

Thanks
