Hi Dave.  Of course said "simple" but if it's too simple it may not achieve
goals your client has in mind.  You may want to verify their goals and
budget, and exactly what "simple" really means.

The only commercial VCS package I'm aware of that's supported and available
for U2 is PRC from Susan Joslyn at SJ+.

Here is a Google for CVS in comp.databases.pick:

VCS for Version Control System returned one CDP hit, but CVS returned many
more.  You'll see most people will wrap CVS/RCS/SCCS, and I think
"subversion" is gaining ground in this area.

I'm guessing that rather than commissioning you to write a wrapper, even
around freeware, they just want a front-end to the editor that will save
off their BP, DICT, and VOC items out to some file with a timestamp.  Now
_that_ is simple.  :)   You may be in trouble if they use 4GL's or other
tools for maintaining their app tho, in that case you'll probably need
something more packaged.  If your client is running over Windows it
wouldn't be tough to use a FileSystemWatcher to log updates and backup
files for later recovery.
