BTW: cvswrappers applies to Add operations as well as Import.
Furtheremore, apart from cvswrappers CVSNT also maintains a built-in
list of file types. You can query the active set by running

  cvs info [-s] cvswrappers 

DOC and DLL are already part of that internal list (marked as -kb). If
you want to treat them as anything other than what the active
cvswrappers set suggests (e.g. -kB or -kbc) you have to specify this
explicitly on Add or Import, e.g.

  cvs add -kB test.doc

  cvs import -W"*.doc -kBc" ...

Hope this helps.
