Simple version control software Freeware, by James Shaw CompuServe 72117,615 9423 Fontaineblean Blvd. #225 Miami, FL 33172 I am a computer programmer. I need a way to back up my code. All of version control software are quite expensive. Also my needs is simple. I just have to backup each revision of file. arj.exe has all the function I need. But I can not remember all those switch. Also I need to put the file readonly so that I will not accidently change it. I wrote some small programs to simulate a version control software. Those programs are put, get lock, view To use those file, you need to set an environment PROJECT which is the archive filename. for example PROJECT=c:\project\project1 put file1 will put file1 into project1 if file1 is changed or new file and change file1 into readonly. get file1 will get a readonly copy of file1 into current directory lock file1 will get a writeable copy of file1 into current directory view file1 will shall all the revision that was saved into archive file. So you can get previous copy of file. Arj.exe is a shareware. You can download from AUTFOREM, library Usage: for one programmer, multi project, daily work allgenein/general Any comments are welcomed.
