How does CVS handle file types/creators under Mac OS X?

The Mac OS X CVS client does not handle file types and creators at all (just like every Unix command line CVS client). This is an issue only when the checked out files will also be used under Mac OS 8.x/9.x. All files checked out under Mac OS X will be untyped and CodeWarrior will not recognize them correctly. To correct this, use the autotyper provided in the CVS sources: • Decode and decompress the file wxWidgets/docs/mac/TypeAsMetrowerksText.sea.hqx • Drag the wxWidgets CVS sandbox directory onto the autotyper and most of the files will be typed according to the file extension.
