[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Need source control system

vu0112@bingvaxu.cc.binghamton.edu (Cliff Joslyn) (09/22/88)

I'm finally at the point where I really need a good source control
system.  I have experience w/an extended version of SCCS on UN*X and
enjoyed it very much.  I need at least that much functionality, but
don't want to pay $$!!  Is there anything in PD?  Or, please, other
people's reccomendations.

A few years ago, I was involved with a rather large software development job
on DOS machines.  We used Polytron's PVCS system.  It is somewhat like SCCS,
but a little easier to use.

It does all the standard SCCS stuff, like get, put, delta, etc.  Unfortunately,
I did not order the stuff, so I don't know how much it costs, but I do know that
the stuff really worked well, and also worked in a LAN environment.

I believe Polytron is based in Oregon.  I don't have the phone number, but maybe
someone out there does.

Hope this helps,

Polytron has a new phone number (503)-645-1150
		P.O.Box 787
		Hilsboro, Or 97123

the address is old and I am not to sure if it is any good but the phone
number is from three weeks ago so it should be ok.
