PRCS is like CVS. But PRCS is much easier to use/understand IMHO.

PRCS, the Project Revision Control System, is the front end to a set of tools
that (like CVS) provide a way
to deal with sets of files and directories as an entity,
preserving coherent versions of the entire set.

Future Enhancements
There are two "big" enhancements that are currently planned for PRCS.
The first, and most important, is to
add client/server functionality. The second is to add a programmable
interface -- once which allows the base
feature set to be extended in ways that are transparent to the user.
We are currently working on the PRCS client/server design. Here is a brief discussion
of what we have in
mind.
