RE: Cannot change ascii/binary property

[Arthur Barrett]

Thank thread is from 2007!

What problem are you having?
What version of CVS (client and server) are you using?
What operating system are you on?
What is the exact command you are trying?
What is the exact error message you are seeing?

Regards,


Arthur Barrett
