[posting this for my wife...nag her at: unicom!susan@pacbell.com :-] Hi! I'm looking for the best version control package around for the AT. I know a leading PC magazine did a comparison of version control packages within the last year. Can anyone remember which publication(s) and date I should check? I would also appreciate your comments. What is the leading VC package for the AT? The most powerful/ full-featured? The best for the money? Any SCCS clones for the AT? It would be nice to have a package that behaves like RCS and/or SCCS. Thanks in advance. Sprice

We have been using PVCS by Polytron. It works very well, is easy to set up and learn, and has excellent vendor support. > ...behaves like RCS and/or SCCS. Thanks in advance. The commands map from RCS, ie 'get' is like 'co', 'put' to 'ci'... It is like RCS, except with enhancements that make it better. One of PVCS's best features is its ability to handle binary files, so you can place any kind of file under revision control. We use it to control CAD schematic binaries, lotus files, wordperfect files, libraries, etc. RCS will not handle these.
