Concurrent Access/Editing

Using winCVS, I'm having problems with multiple users not being able to 
safely edit the same document (word, ppt, etc.) at the same time...can 
this be done using subversion????

Does Subversion magically know how to merge every binary format in the
world?  Uh, no.  :-)

Subversion does handle binary-file conflicts more gracefully than CVS,
though.  Read about it in appendix A of svnbook.red-bean.com.
