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. David Buonomo FileTek ...!uunet!fltk!dnb

You might want to look into the SHAPE/AFS toolset floating around on the network. Mark Runyan
