Sourcesafe

2015-06-05 Thread Denis Daly
HI, It has been recommended to me, by my Manager, that I use Sourcesafe to control archiving of all my Framemaker files. Sourcesafe is used by our Software developer to archive his files. Currently, I manually archive on a weekly basis by copying files from my local C:\ drive to the company
