PVCS and Framemaker

["Sharon Russell" <srussell -at- softtracks -dot- com>]

Hi all,

Is anyone using PVCS to tracks changes to documentation? My company wants us
to use PVCS to do this, but I have some concerns about the amount of space
this will use on the server and whether PVCS may corrupt the frame files.

Do you save all of your framemaker files in PVCS? It seems a little
inefficient to check out a document to tweak a tag or page breaking, etc,
and then check it in again. Do you check in documents daily, or only for
major revisions? The other option we proposed was only saving the PDF copies
in PVCS.

I have also heard that PVCS sometimes adds garbage characters to Word files
saved in PVCS. Has anyone had an experience with that? Do you know if that
can also happen in Frame files? Any other adverse effects on Frame files?

Thanks,

Sharon
