Re: cvs or subversion or manual control
Hi Al, if I recall correctly Subversion handles binary files better than CVS does. So if you are going to check in e.g. pictures (jpg, gif), MS-Office documents (doc, ppt, ...) or pdf-files for your web pages, and they change from time to time, then I think subversion is the better choice. You can find the documentation on Subversion on http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ Chapter 6 deals with server configuration and chapter 5 with repository administration.

Re: cvs or subversion or manual control
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi Al, A google search of 'subversion vs cvs' will likely find many papers that compare and contrast the two systems. If you are just managing your own files and no one else needs to use them outside of the machine where you are holding them now, then you might find that using 'rcs' will have less overhead in general than using either of cvs or subversion. cvs has been around a fairly long time and is reasonably stable. cvs has both remote client/server mode as well as a local mode of operation. subversion was written with the goal of addressing many of the shortcomings of cvs such as directory and file renaming and atomic commits across multiple directories. Written to be a client/server application.

Re: cvs or subversion or manual control
Algis, Another option is CVSNT (on Linux or Windows) which is CVS with all the subversion features. The manual is a good place to start but not extremely beginner friendly: http://www.cvsnt.org/manual/ CVSNT can be downloaded from: http://www.cvsnt.com Regards, Arthur Barrett Algis Kabaila [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I am a 79 year old newbee, who has been around computers since the valve version.
