| I prefer to use CVS and keep all my scripts in text files. I don't use IDE integration but it gives me a LOT more flexability.Damian |

| Damian, I tried using CVS once but it went way over the top of my head. The documentation on CVSNT is quite confusing and much as I would like to use it, I can't seem to find any good resources on getting up and running with it. You know of any? P.S. I don't have a really good idea of how source control works, I've mostly been an end-user with Visual Interdev.OwaisWe make a living out of what we get, but we make a life out of what we give. |

Shudder  The CVSNT site got a lot better over the past year. There is a bunch of documentation and howtos there now. The main problem getting into CVS was the client software. I use www.tortoisecvs.org which turns explorer into a fantastic source control client.It's something you need to set up a server and experiment a bunch with.When my workload gets quiet in the new year I might do a write up on it.Damian |
