Ian -----Original Message----- From: Ian Wilson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] There are lots of version control systems around, but they don't, generally, do issue management (or manage BOMs and assemblies etc).
Have a look under version control systems on sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/) for open source version control system by the bucket full. The link to the version control development projects is: http://sourceforge.net/softwaremap/trove_list.php?form_cat=52 This one does some neat tricks (check-in/out with right clicks in Explorer) - it is a Win32 GUI for CVS (CVS is not known for its ease of use and has spawned numerous front ends): http://sourceforge.net/projects/tortoisecvs/ >>snip I already looked at sourceforge, its chock full of great sw. I even looked at tortoiseCVS, but couldn't see how to check out single files from a directory. they all want to check out the whole lot! is it even possible? I am looking at (www.IssueView.com) for ECO tracking etc, (thanks Jeff) it looks great. I don't need a BOM/Assembly tracker, our company database is used for that. I guess all i need now, is a CVS system, that lets me check out single files and a database to manage drawing numbers and pcb numbers. I'll probably end up writing that myself. As for DXP, I already use it! We upgraded earlier this year, and i have to admit that once you get used to it, it is better than 99SE. BTW, on my searches i came accross this, http://www.oasys-software.com/product/dm/columbus/ its free and is a very good document tracker, if you have docs spread across servers etc. Thanks Rich * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * To leave this list visit: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/leave.html * * Contact the list manager: * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Forum Guidelines Rules: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/forumrules.html * * Browse or Search previous postings: * http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
