No locks, and hence no conflict. It merges changes together. If more control is desired, it allows developers to flag what files they intend to work on. > -Deleted files tracked Yup. CVS doesn't throw history away. > -Java Interface There are, in my notes, three Java clients, one of which is a bean. CVS is a C program, but defines a client-server protocol that anything that can do basic networking can hook into. Alternatively, you could use any reasonable Java native-code interface. > -Distributed application support I don't know what you're talking about here. It works well to keep the source code of distributed applications, and works well to control distributed development, but it doesn't do distributed repositories at all well. > -J2EE Support Um, what would this be? Again, you can use it to hold Java source code. CVS is a version control system, and a good one. It isn't anything else. > -Software Developer Kit It doesn't contain one, but if you want you can get Unix development tools. You get the CVS source code, so if you want to change it you can make your own kit. It has been integrated with several language systems, such as Delphi, Metrowerks Codewarrior, Visual Age for Java, .NET, and Visual Studio (I'm not sure how many of these projects are ready for serious use yet.) > -Mercury Interactive Interface Not that I know of, although if it's a general interface somebody could write one. You could, given time, tools, and ability, or you could hire somebody who had them. > -Failover Clustering Support Nope, although I suppose you could set up a hot backup capability. > -Multi-level delegated administration capability > Single level. There's little enough administration to do, normally, so I don't see what multiple levels would gain. David H. Thornley | If you want my opinion, ask.
