I am looking for some decent source control software. Something a bit
more sophisticated, and perhaps easier to manage, than SCCS. While I
would be willing to buy something, the thought of some public domain
software is kind of nice...
Anyone who feels that they have a good suggestion, please respond to
pa...@eda.com.
Do not reply to this address!

With all due respect ... NO! (That's what a newsgroup is all about! ;-)
I don't want to sound like I'm on a soapbox or anything, but if you're
developing software without using one of the developer toolkits like HP's
Softbench or SparcWorks, then you really are working a lot harder than
you need to. These tools come with fairly nice interfaces over SCCS that
make it tolerable, even likeable. If you're on a fairly small to medium
sized development project, that should be sufficient.
If you're on to something larger than that, then obviously you would not be
looking into something for free! ;-)
This is about as close to 'free' as anything that I am aware of, although
I certainly have not looked very hard.
Respectfully submitted,

Or something free like CVS.

CVS is basically a set of C wrappers over top of RCS which make it
tolerable, and even likable if you are working with multiple developers.
The FreeBSD project has used it for 3 years now, and although we have
our complaints about it (renaming files doesn't work, deleting
directories is a bit kludgy) it works far better than anything I've used
in a commercial atmosphere. And, with the addition of some mirroring
software developers on other continents can stay in sync with each other
since CVS already provides the hooks necessary to send everyone involved
the log messages when they are made.

CVS is even closer to free than the HP tools, although there is probably
a bit more cost up front involved with setup and training since there
aren't very good manuals for it.
