>BTW, is RCS similar to CVS or am I mixed up about these? CVS is built upon RCS. RCS is essentially good for very small groups numbering between 1 and 1.5 where there is *really* good communication. CVS is much more geared toward larger groups and collaboration which usually requires remote development on disparate networks. If you don't know CVS very well yet, you may be interested in learning Subversion instead: http://subversion.tigris.org/ It's meant to be the next-generation of CVS, is being developed by the current maintainers of CVS (Collab.net), and it's networking capabilities far exceed the poorly grafted on duct-tape which CVS uses. I use both. I use RCS for things like local files I just want basic revision control of. I use CVS/Subversion for large collections of files which are related. For example, here at work, the web site I'm builing is under Subversion, as is the FAI auto-install environment (er, well, not yet, but it will be :). Files on my laptop, like my 'daily-what-did-I-do-today' log is under RCS. I hope that helps some. -- Seeya, Paul -- It may look like I'm just sitting here doing nothing, but I'm really actively waiting for all my problems to go away.
