We maybe embarking on a new development platform that will involve some type of UNIX systems (yet to be determined). Since we are currently a VMS shop, one of the criteria for the new platform is a high degree of compatablity with our existing systems. A major problem is source control. Our current source control system relies heavly on DECs CMS/MMS programs. Idealy we would like to manage the unix source under those programs. Is this possiable? I would like to hear ideas on the subject from anyone that has investigated or implemented such a scheme. I'm looking for solutions, problems, dead ends, horror stories etc. Please e-mail and if enough interest is expressed, I will summarize. I realize I cross posted this so don't flame me, however if there is a catagory were more expertise on this subject would exist, please let me know.

(Note that MMS won't quite work unless you do some rule rewrite, since executables are not named .EXE nor are objects named .OBJ.) #Is this possible? Not only possible but workable.
