Not really. And probably there is not much need to, see below.

I just tried it on Windows 2000 with cvsnt. I checked out a project,
modified a file and used the "From current file" menu item.
It works fine except when the file's encoding is e.g. UTF-32. But this
is IMO more a problem of CVS as it told on the command line that
"binary files differ". I.e. the cvs tool treated the changed file as a
binary file.

So, maybe your problem is related to the encoding of the files you use?
Did you try GeanyVC (http://users.cosmostv.by/yurand/geanyvc/)?
It has many more features and maybe it works better/different.

Regards,
Enrico
