Re: Versioning repository for docs

[Ken Munro <kenmunro -at- gmail -dot- com>]

Hi.

Perforce is an excellent version control tool, for code and documents
like Word and Frame.

It is not free, but you can use it for two users for free I think. It
is well worth the cash, however. I use it at home for personal
projects, and I have used it at two workplaces.

Their website is:
http://perforce.com/

Good luck.

Ken
