Steve, I made it hard for you - it is FreeVCS not FreeCVS - link is here http://www.thensle.de/index.htm It is capable of being integrated into the Borland Delphi and C++ Builder environment but there is a standalone version that I used for a short while but have not set up since a HD crash. The FreeVCS system suited me as it allowed internet access (but I have not seen how this will go through my firewall), has an integrated database (DBISAM) but can be configured to use any external SQL database apparently. It does not use differential storage (so there is no issue with corruption of the root document) but this means storage requirements are higher than otherwise. It looked reasonable to me but I am no expert. Oh its got a GUI and will run under Win2k. I am interested in evaluating other open source version control systems that suit more than just software and allow for access via the internet. any suggestions.
