Yes, all binary files (jpg, blend and zip) are marked with -kb. You
could see it yourself if you checkout the CVS repository I wrote in my
last mail. I tried the option -F to see what happened and here is the
result: ( I appended also the output to this mail)

> cvs annotate -F
cvs server: invalid option -- F
Usage: cvs server [-lRf] [-r rev] [-D date] [files...]
        -l      Local directory only, no recursion.
        -R      Process directories recursively.
        -f      Use head revision if tag/date not found.
        -r rev  Annotate file as of specified revision/tag.
        -D date Annotate file as of specified date.
(Specify the --help global option for a list of other help options)

Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.18 (client/server)

Ahhhh! Perhaps I found the problem. I used another CVS server from
another project. And there is works with binary files! Is the annotate
version and binary stuff of the CVS *server* and not the CVS client a
problem here? I'm not able to log in with a ssh server. Is it possible
to get the CVS server version that I use with a client?

I think in this case the CVS server should be updated.
