I suspect that the ix and PC development environments that you describe are in departments that formed as a reaction to the perceived (and/or actual) rigidity and unresponsiveness of the mainframe development group. The Unix shop I was in definitely had change control and signoff. I used it in maintenance and development. It was an ex-mainframe shop. Most of the development methodologies that I have heard about include change control and build organization. I am certain that most decent package developers have good change and version control irrespective of platform. > >- >Too busy driving to stop for gas! > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
