Kumar T,
Which machines and OS is it working on and which is it NOT working on? Did you check the Bug Parade at Sun to see if it is a problem?
Could you show us the code and / or the exact error message?
Also Kumar T,
Please change your name to be compliant with JavaRanch's naming policy. It should not be obviously fictitious.
Your displayed name should be 2 separate names with more than 1 letter each. We really would prefer that you use your REAL name.
You can change your name: here.
Thanks,
Cindy
Oh yeah, if we can't figure this out by tomorrow we will move it to the IO forum where they know LOTS about this stuff.

I am working on windows 2000 machines.It's working on some and not on some(those are also Win 2000).
Yes..i did go through SUN website.I didn't find any bug related to that.
Regarding code,it just displays the message.It doesn't say anything more than this in trace.
Exception retrievng object.: Type code out of range, is 28^M

i am using code repository CVS and i added file with default "cvs add filename".CVS changis the file and that's why i was getting this error.
Simpel sol went like this.I have to add the file in to cvs in binary format.
cvs add -kb filename that solved the problem
