RCS

[HOLLOW, CHRISTOPHER]

Hi Shawn,

   Depending on your needs, I would suggest checking out CVS 
(cvshome.org).  The CVS system is built on top of RCS and designed to 
manage entire software projects.  The CVS client comes base system in 
BSD and most *NIX systems.  Take a look at cvsd 
(http://tiefighter.et.tudelft.nl/~arthur/cvsd/) in the ports collection 
for a CVS pserver.  CVSWeb (http://www.freebsd.org/projects/cvsweb.html) 
, a project maintained by none other than FreeBSD,  is a nifty add-on 
that lets you browse CVS repositories through a browser.  My setup 
includes a lot of Windows users so I also use TortoiseCVS 
(www.tortoisecvs.org) to allow Win-users CVS functionality.

The documentation on all of these is quite good.  It took me from the 
ground up.  Take a look and post back if you have any specific technical 
questions/issues/problems.

HTH,

Christopher Hollow
