This may not be for this forum, but I'm moving a PVCS repository to a CVS repository. I'm using ant to do this with cvs and pvcs tasks. I have to test a if a file is binary or not before adding it to CVS, but I have to do this on a Windows box. It is easy on Unix (file <filename> | grep...) or using <ac:if><scriptcondition> or <ac:shellscript>. Does anyone have any ideas other than using the files extension as a guide and praying that you have them correct and don't miss any? Yuck!
CVS requires you to designate the file type as binary fro binary files when adding the file. Other SCM usually handle this internally. I really hate PVCS and CVS. I wish they would be switching SVN or Perforce. I prefer Perforce over all SCMs. I tried my best to convince the company I'm contracting at to switch to Perforce, but too much of an up hill battle. Thanks in advance, GregD 6-8309
