[comp.unix.questions] Need guidance in Software Configuration Management

dnb@fltk.UUCP (David Buonomo) (03/17/90)

Does anybody know of any literature that pertains to Software Configuration
Management in a UNIX environment.  Experience and horror stories are welcome.

We are planning on using RCS on multiple platforms.  Thanks in advance for 
any help.
