Hear hear!...another advocate for VSS!....Do you know if it is possible to
download a trial version? I have used it many times before but want to get a
trial version to demo to bosses at work to try to persuade them to buy it.
Can't find anywhere where I can do that.

If you are looking for a RDS/Server side version control, VSS is your only
choice. I use a product call QVCS (http://www.qumasoft.com) which is a
client side version control system. It integrates well with CF Studio and
can produce reports by assigning "Version Labels" to specific revisions. It
can be set up to work with shared archives in a team development
environment. QVCS also comes with command line executables. You could in
theory build a server base version control system using CF by using
CFEXECUTE to run the command line utilities and CFFILE to parse the output
I have also played with a product called CS-RCS
(http://www.componentsoftware.com/rcs/). It is based on the GNU RCS and
works well for multi-platform development (i.e. Unix & Windows). It also
integrates well with CF Studio.
You can download and try both products before you buy.

| As far as I can tell, VSS does not have very good reporting capabilities.
| It is possible to declare a project version (VSS calls this a "label"),
and
| you can examine an individual file's history to see the labels and
| associated file versions, and you can do a "get" to get all the files with
a
| specific label attached, but I've never seen a report of the file versions
| that go with a label.
|
| VSS is a good example of the Microsoft way in a new (to them) market - put
| out a product (usually purchased elsewhere) that does just enough and make
| it fairly easy to use. With VSS they've never followed up (as they
| sometimes do) with new versions that have more advanced functionality.
|
| So is anyone using any other source control system that integrates with
| Studio 4.5?

|
| Our network administrator finally installed VSS, and I've successfully
| hooked
| it into my existing CF Studio projects. But VSS looks pretty limited
| compared
| to what I've used on UNIX systems. (Heck, CMS on the VAX beats it.) I
| expect
| a source control tool to tell me which version of which files were in a
| given
| release of my software. For example:
|
| Project ABC v1.4
| =============
| page1.cfm v2
| page2.cfm v5
| page3.cfm v1
|
| Project ABC v1.5
| =============
| page1.cfm v2
| page2.cfm v6
| page3.cfm v4
| page4.cfm v1
|
| Can VSS do this? I'd greatly appreciate any help. The on-line help and
| MSDN
| don't offer much, and I see no books out there.
|
| Thanks.
