the DOS solution (which some of my co-workers still use) is shoving directory trees around. C:\myproject\working> md ..\release-1.9 C:\myproject\working> xcopy /e *.* ..\release-1.9 if you have multiple developers on the same project, you decide in advance which files will be touched by which developers, and set read-only attributes on the files you're _not_ supposed to touch, as a friendly reminder. somehow these guys slogged around without diff. it boggles my mind. ... I still use PRCS, am confused by git, have never set up CVS (just use it as a read-only client), and can't tell you the differences between mercurial and subversion. -- Aaron J.
