Actually, you can do all that from the p4 command line. It's just not as perty. I respect perforce and would recommend it to anyone looking for a low level SCM tool. It's more full featured than subversion, although svn is quite good IMO and is hard to beat at its price point. I believe there are svn GUIs, although I've never tried one. -- Lan Barnes SCM Analyst Linux Guy Tcl/Tk Enthusiast Biodiesel Brewer -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-lpsg
