If you want to use MS SourceSafe then use MS SourceSafe. The reason why there are many verison control systems is because there are advantages and disadvantages to working different ways - so each tool like CVS, SourceSafe, ClearCase has it's own strengths and weaknesses. It's always best to define what you want Software Change and Configuration Management systems to deliver (using measurable criteria) then decide what tools can deliver it (then measure the success). Do not pick a tool then define what it can deliver as being what you need it to deliver. > I would like to decide to watch old file version order by > data, download > every single file version and compare file version differences. I'm not really sure I understand a word of that. WinCVS is a good tool for CVS 'experts' (or at least people who know how CVS works), more 'casual' users tend to use other tools. You could check out CVSNT since I wrote some of it, oh and: the server supports 'reserved' versioning like SourceSafe as well as 'unreserved' versioning like CVS and the client package contains a bunch of GUI's including Suite Studio (Trial) which is a bit like SourceSafe, TortoiseCVS, WinCVS and others. Check out the 'revision graph' view and the 'history' view of a sandbox once you've got TortoiseCVS (it installs automatically with the CVSNT client). Regards, Arthur Barrett
