what you suggest takes out all the point of using the cvs. for that, i don't need cvs.
i could just
save them on a joint share, and similar things like that.
What i am seeking is using the power of cvs, to use, for example wincvs to update
parts of the
document
that i feel should be in it, just like when it is used to version C projects.
example: a colleague commits a requirement to the document in the cvs and when i come
to the commit
phase, i see it and choose to accept or reject the change.
i am willing to move from office word for a small and free software (not another
office behemoth),
if it will allow me to do this thing. i don't mind working with html with simple
headings, all i am
concerned about is the numberings topology for easy readability.
for ex:
1. something
1.1 something else
1.2 etc...
10x,
tzahi.
