Bug: Problem on Windows see old binary attachments

Need to switch to binmode when getting output from RCS co command, but can't do that (at least I don't know how) when using backticks to run the command.

Test case

Attachment a word doc, change it and attach again, you're likely to just see junk.

Fix record

For Windows put output in a temporary file, read in binmode and delete temporary file. Implemented in Store/RcsWrap.pm and Store/RcsFile.pm. Note this has brought in usage of File::Spec - I don't know how standard this is.

More binmode craziness ... File::Spec is standard in Perl 5.005_03 - there's a link to the list of built-in modules at ReadmeFirst.

BTW, what happens to topics marked TWikiAlphaRelease when it becomes BeijingRelease? Does someone do a mass update?

It would be good if there was a TWikiAlphaReleaseBeijing or something, so that older topics can easily be seen as 'alpha leading to Beijing' rather than 'some alpha, not clear which one'... +1 -- RandyKramer - 28 Mar 2002
