Doesn't one line of code affect the behavior of another? When I make changes, I make them based on assumptions about the behavior of other lines of code in the module/program. If somebody else is making changes to that behavior, watch out. Ken Nelson

Try taking a look at CVS (I believe it was posted to comp.sources.unix about a month ago?) -- there was an article about it in the USENIX proceedings (San Diego?) not too long ago. With the limited experience I've had in using it - it appears to work reasonably well - however it certainly hasn't been thoroughly tested where I work. --fish

cvs can be had from prep.ai.mit.edu or osu-cis (or wherever fine gnu-ware
is available). the architecture looks sound, some operations are said
to be slow, it assumes a "disk space is cheap" model. oh and the sources
are Free as in Gnu Public License.
