Subject:Version control software - a second questions From:Chris Hamilton <chamilton -at- GR -dot- COM> Date:Mon, 24 Mar 1997 13:11:36 -0600
Version control software has been something sitting toward the bottom of
my task list for quite some time. As I write this, the suggestions are
PVCS Version Manager from Intersolv and StarTeam from StarBase. From the
brief glimpses I took at the respective web sites, these appear to be
software version control packages.
My question is this: do software version control packages tend to work
well for documentation or is this a case of forcing a square peg into a
round hole?
Thanks.
Chris
