htdocs/apache_pb.gif scrambled?
Perhaps I am crazy, but it looks to me like the htdocs/apache_pb.gif file
has been corrupted in the CVS tree somehow.

Haven't seen anything additional on this. The proper course of action, I
believe, would be to do a "cvs admin -kb apache_pb.gif", but only members
of the cvsadmin group can do that.
Also, we should binaryize the Windows-only text files, and give them DOS
line breaks. (the makefiles, README.NT) Ben mentioned this last week, but
it never happened.

Ah.. Of course. The htdocs version didn't get committed with -kb. If
you do a cvs status on both you will see this.

But both of these GIF files came from CVS. Heck, they came as part of the
exact same checkout even. One gets translated and the other doesn't?

I ran into the same problem when I started using NT: 2326 is the
length of the GIF file. 2331 is the length of the GIF file if you
translate Unix linefeeds to DOS linefeeds. GIFs don't work too well
when all the LFs get a CR added in front of them.
Fix that, and your problems should magically disappear.

I am using a 1.8.1 client on Solaris and a 1.9.8 client on Win95.
Ahem.. Ok, user error. I had done a: cmp apache_pb.gif ../icons
expecting cmp to behave like diff and figure out that it should compare a
file by the same name. The two files are the same on my Unix box.
On Win95 the htdocs version is 2331 bytes and the icons version is the
correct 2326 bytes. A diff of the 'od -c' output from each is incredibly
enough clean. Oh well, one never knows what this beast of an OS is doing.

Nope.

You been reading Dr. Seuss?
Anyhow, make sure that your diff and rcs are recent too... there is the
possibility that the file went in without the -kb option set though.

The two files are the same for me, in a fresh checkout. Using cvs 1.9.2
over ssh.
Perhaps your version of cvs is too old. If so, get a newer one. Perhaps
it is too new. If so, get an older one. Perhaps it is just right. If
so, it just doesn't like you.
CVS isn't entirely friendly with binary files. Check out exactly how the
two differ to see if you can see anything obvious like bogus keyword
substituion. Try a checkout again.
Are you using any of the -k options to cvs checkout?

Right from a CVS checkout. And I am using Netscape. Should it not be the
same file as the one in the icons directory? A cvs checkout followed by a
'cmp' shows the two files to be different.

Perhaps I am crazy, but I don't see a problem.
Where did you get your copy and what are you using to look at it?
