Hi Donovan
We use Component Software CS-RCS (www.csrcs.com). It is based on the GNU
rcs system, which is very stable. You can also get a free add-on there for
it that puts commands on the Delphi Tools menu for checking files in and out
etc..
The single-user version is freeware. For multiple users, you pay. There is
a 30 day evaluation period of course.
I have looked at WinCvs, DosRCS, "cvs-1.10-win" and Code Co-op, and have
found csrcs to be far, far better.
FYI here are the prices (US dollars):
[ ] CS-RCS five users license pack (RCS005) -- $295
[ ] CS-RCS ten users license pack (RCS010) -- $495
[ ] CS-RCS twenty-five users license pack (RCS025) -- $995
The source code repository needs to be addressable using network style
\\SERVER\RCS\ type filenames. If you have IP surely you can set up SAMBA or
ms file sharing of some sort?
If you *really* want a freeware rcs system, use gnu cvs on a linux box, or
find a windows port (there are many). The advantage of csrcs is it's GUI
and the way it integrates with explorer.
Hmm... if this sounds like a sales pitch, it's not! - it's just a damn good
program (in my opinion, at least). We have 5 users working on 13 projects
using it.
Mike
