1) Label versions. Part of our software QA procedure is to label every
version sent to clients - ie right-click on a project and label it
version 6.0 or anything else. At some later stage in the future you can
view, check out, extract or compare the labelled versions. Haven't tried
it from the command line but then I generally don't build Delphi apps
from the command line either. AFAIK, it does support command line stuff
but MS want you to extend/manipulate VSS via COM.
2) Multiple Project build/release may well be out of VSS's league. I
assume you want to say be able to extract say a debug version or a
release version with different files/versions extracted? We do that for
our C code (just extract a certain labeled make file) but don't bother
for Delphi - too nasty.
