Can it perform keyword > expansion on Unicode files? Yes. Text files includes any unicode files. You have to set up your client to recognized files as text file based on the extension.

No plans for this. SJ would have to interpret the binary file to find and expand any keywords. I can't even concieve of how I'd do something like that, considering all the possible types of binary files out there. > > Is there a keyword or combination which results in the full path of the > file, relative sourcejammer? I can't believe this is still not in the doc. It's been available for years. Yes. $Location: $ > > The archive area of the site says: "- source -- contains source files > for files stored on the server.

No. All files that SJ stores on the server are named using a numbering system. 0, 1, 2, 3 . . . This doc explains some of the details of how SJ stores files: http://www.sourcejammer.org/docAboutServerFiles.html > > Can a file or files be shared across archives?

I've got a fairly small team of six developers and we have not encountered any problems. From a server load perspective, I think you'd have to have a very big team (probably hundreds of developers) before you saw any problems. But from a workflow management perspective, you might run into problems sooner because SJ does not support concurrent versioning. Thanks. --Rob > Thanks for your time > Susan M.
