Re: [Codestriker-user] RE: Bug with TOC when using '-b' with diff

[David S. <si...@us...>]

Hi John,

Yep, the diff parsing code never took binary files into account.  In all 
our reviewing the last few months here, we have never had to worry about 
it.  Anyway, I've checked in some code into CVS which should handle it.  
Let me know how you go.

Cheers,
David
