adding binary files to cvs

I tried to add some jpeg files to the repository as binary files from wincvs. 
Wincvs seems to be stuck when doing this. How can I achieve this?
thanks.

RE: adding binary files to cvs

CVS assumes nothing is binary; you have to explictly tell it a file is
binary, or CVS will treat 0x10 as eol, and so forth.

>>From the WinCVS command line, use cvs add -kb filename, or cvs admin -kb
filename to mark an existing file as binary. I have no idea how to do it
from the GUI because I never use it. It should probably be pretty obvious;
if not, then go ahead and use the command line.
