Hi David, everyone. Of course everyone knows that "I'm PRC", but I just wanted to poke my head in and let you know that Perforce is not an MV tool. It's an outside (windows mainly?) tool, but Jim Idle was using it in-house to manage jbase development. So that's how it started getting talked about in the MV community.
You can use outside tools ... you can create great or small wrappers from within U2 ... depends on how much time you want to spend on it. Then you can manage the stuff that is visible from outside. In the case of U2 that's directory (program) files, only. In the case of D3, I'm pretty sure that's nothing. PRC - just in case there's anyone on this list who hasn't heard! - is a completely integrated change control tool that provides start to finish life-cycle management to take IT from either a little more convenience and control all the way to SOX compliance -- and all stages in between. It works in and on the Multivalue environment, so all file types (dictionary items, etc.) are handled in the same way. It provides a completely automated solution -- no extra steps that have to be remembered. Even if you didn't mind writing a wrapper to feed the check-in and check-out to an outside tool, that's all you've got. PRC already has a complete infrastructure for the security framework, automated notification, test plans, the delivery (and undelivery). All done, hundreds of installations, 15 years mature.

A client is looking to move to a 'vcs' process. They are D3 (unix) shop but are looking to a 'windows/unix' solution. I was asked if there were any MV products and I mentioned the few that I had heard of being used in the mv world. PRC and preforce (not sure how to search the history of u2ug.org). If there are any others being used for MV configuration - source control, either MV specific OR easy to link to MV I would like to know.
