1. "cvs admin -kb file"
2. "cvs update -A file"
3. Make sure it's ok.  It might already have been corrupted due
   to being committed as text.  If so, you'll have to recreate it
   (or copy it into your sandbox from a backup, or whatever) and
   check in a new version.  Now that you've got it marked as
   binary, this should work ok.
