RE: Doc files in CVS

["Glenn Maxey" <glenn -dot- maxey -at- voyanttech -dot- com>]

If you use FrameMaker's MIF files (text-based) instead of the FM files
and RTF files (text-based) instead of Word DOC files, you'll get CVS to
play with them at the expense of an extra step in the process.

I don't know if the trade-offs are worth it. You'll still have to store
image files in their binary format as well as output files (like HLP
from WinHelp).
