Hi Chris:

Without buying UVNet and or PRC which cost many thousands of dollars.  You
have a couple of choices:

1)  You can use the smoke and mirrors of VOC pointers
2)  You can get a real version control system.  Most of the version control
systems CVS or Subversion are free.  They require scripts to code to hook
them up.

And if you're going to learn a new version control system, GET A DISTRIBUTED ONE!

Okay, you might be the sole developer ... but a distributed system still helps. I learnt some sourcesafe in my last job, and one of the biggest pains was another developer working on a module I was using, or needing to bugfix a module that was being developed on. You can add your own niggles.

I've started learning git, and while I haven't really scratched the surface of what it can do, it's easy to have multiple developments going on against the same stream of code. (You just curse a bit when you need to merge those streams, although git does try to make it easier for you :-)

Cheers,
Wol
