I have worked with a CM product from an IISV which was subsequently acquired by IBM. Coordinated source changes should bear equal level/generation IDs, perhaps SYSMOD IDs. It kept coordinated changes in a single directory and made Build directories containing symbolic links to source files selected by promotion level. A later version supported Windows by making copies instead of symlinks. Users could select editors by personal preference. (It did poorly with editors which returned before Save such as emacs server.) Slick Edit had similar features, including a diff3 GUI interface. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
