Aby,
we use Visual SourceSafe 5 from microsoft and it has worked out great for us.
We of course are developing on NT machines...
There are some problems you can run into using VSS (i.e. 6 doesn't work correctly).
As well as some other minor problems that can be EASILY avoided.
We have been happy with VSS 5 which can be integrated with ND.
Cheers
p.s. if you are interested I can outline some of the 'issues' you can avoid.

Subject: Re: [ND] Source control system for ND4/5
We used open-source cvs, but not integrated with the ND studio.
From glancing at comments on the list, it does not appear that studio
integration of source code control is smooth, no matter which product you use.
There are 2 related things that make life difficult:
1. The fileset for an ND application object is objectname.* plus
links/<significantnumber>_<less significantnumber>.sid
thus some sort of mapping needs to be done between the .sid file and the
rest of the files. With cvs, this was accomplished via a yellow pad.
2. If you change one app object, ND will often or at least sometimes
regenerate the .sid files for app objects you did not change, in a way that
does not affect how ND processes the file, but which is detected as a
change by version control systems. I think it reorders the contents of the
file. If 2 people are working on different objects and doing an "update
all" to the repository, conflicts will be detected if by chance, both local
ND studios happen to regenerate the same .sid file for an object that
neither person is intentionally changing in the studio.
