Are you actually saying that your fellow researchers don’t have access to the command line on their own workstations? I do understand that some managed PC installations do try to turn off the local OS command terminal. An IT industry columnist I follow calls such people the Value Prevention Society, because they frequently take actions to remove the value we should expect to get from user-owned PCs over mainframes and such. If you actually do find yourself operating in such a benighted environment, you could build a GUI wrapper program around the fossil.exe binary. I’m not talking about anything grandiose; maybe half a day of time in your favorite GUI builder. You could do this in anything from VB to Tcl/Tk to HTML Applications. You could probably even do it in FileMaker. :) (Yes, I’m making a leap here that you’re using Windows. Organizations that allow use of other OSes generally don’t even *try* to lock their users out of the local command line.) > Seems adding files, doing check-ins, merges, should all be part of the UI. Someone has to do it. Patches will be thoughtfully reviewed. :) _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
