I was asked to send a summary of the responses I got so here we go:
3 out 4 responses recommended Visual Source Safe, 1 person said that the
latest version of FrameMaker includes document check in/out and revision
management features and suggested the following website: http://www.adobe.com/products/framemaker/main.html
We don't use FrameMaker though so that's unfortunate for us. Visual Source
Safe is already used by our programmers so we'll go for the same solution.
Thanks for all your help!

Dear Ilona,
I would love it if you could provide a summary of responses. I'm assuming
most responses will come privately, not to the list. Thanks very much,

i'm looking into buying a document/content management application for our
documentation department. my main requirements are:
- being able to check doc files in and out, so everyone always uses the
most current version
- automatic backups of files in case of file corruption
- easy to use
is anyone out there using a tool that fits my description?
