I'm now in the middle of trying to decide whether Eunice will do the job as the source control/maintenance hub for a large software project destined for several target environments, including UNIX and VMS, and haven't seen anything on this newsgroup in the last two months since I discovered the need to hear about Eunice. I'd greatly appreciate some input from people who have been trying to do real things with it. I'd especially like to hear about your experiences in two areas: - technical (so far Version 4.2 looks pretty good to me, what pitfalls have I not tripped over yet?) - support (pre-sales support also looks great; how are they [TWG] AFTER the sale?) My intention is to set up a software maintenance toolbox based on a number of tools written for UNIX, mostly 4.nbsd, along with custom tools to deal with system-dependencies for each target, but keeping one master copy of everything on one system. I'm most comfortable with UNIX, and don't know anything beyond the marketing hype (and SPD's) from DEC about their VMS tools (CMS/MMS/DECshell/?? If you can compare Eunice/VMS (and various UNIX-style tools) to the various software development/maintenance tools for VMS available from DEC, so much the better (anybody started with VMS tools and switched to UNIX/Eunice because of problems, or vice versa?) Please let me hear from you, whether good or bad. I'll summarize your responses to the net...
