[<CLC>] Pardon? You've never seen CVS? Or any of its zillions of commercial and open source offspring? I've built entire (mainframe!) products using these tools on PCs. And it wasn't even a hard decision to make. They're more flexible and easier to use than anything I've used on TSO. CMS may have some secret sauce I am not aware of, but if you're comparing tools on TSO with the PC, it is the mainframe ones that come up short. Sorry. > I've worked with change control applications on the mainframe since 1981 > (PANVALET, then). > > I don't think it's platform dependent, but I have seen too many managers > let PC 'fixes' fly through on PC's, that they wouldn't let the equivalent > see the light of day on mainframes. [<CLC>] Let's stop bashing PCs here. Only a poor workman blames his tools. Everyone here has seen ugly changes fly through the net with nary a swat from the QA or change control process.
