Yes...I would love to be using CVS, but I just switched jobs into an established project team that is using Micro$oft's SourceSafe. When I get some free time, I'm going to setup a CVS repository for my own use (I've used it before on Unix for both work and play projects). THEN, maybe, I can convince the others that it's worth switching over (everyone else grumbles about SourceSafe, but nobody really knows a "reliable" and affordable alternative with a useable GUI front end [VSS is OK...stupid in some areas, but useable]...does tkcvs or that jCVS stuff or something else work well on NT/95 systems? Do the latest CVS[1.9.something] have reasonable Visual Studio integration? Emacs-VC on NTEmacs?). Basically, I need to find some time to investigate... And, yes...something like CVS would work if all the shared files go through a source control system. Most do, but there are some classes of files that don't go that way (e.g. I email the latest version of something to someone else for testing, or I've got some prototype utility to give to someone before going into a control system). Basically, if I were able to work isolated in my own gnu-win32 universe, then everything would be fine. The problem, however, is that it'll never be that way - either sharing files with colleagues or among different toolsets on my own system will cause problems. So, why IS it that the coolview code requires text=binary mode mounts anyways? -- Scott Blachowicz - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
