The first question I have for  you Jim is; are you doing this on a UNIX/LINUX 
system or a Microsoft PC?  Considering the underlying kernel for Apples is now 
a version of UNIX, I would imagine the SCCS/SBCS version control software would 
likewise be available on those platforms.

At any rate, SCCS (Source Code Control System) and SBCS (Software Binary 
Control System) would be ideal for any type of files you need to store.  Keep 
in mind that any file readily accessible via notepad.exe or any âtext editorâ 
will be stored via the SCCS software.  Any binary files of any type, including 
image files, word documents, executable and sound files will require SBCS for 
version control.

I do believe there may be similar Microsoft PC tools available, but I have no 
experience with those so will defer to others on this list.

Hi,

In case this is useful to someone, I found this because I was trying to find a 
way to centralize the storage and retrieval for some files for myself. 
http://beanstalkapp.com/features/version_control.



I have a question. Would version control work for files other than source code? 
For example, if I wanted to store a couple of Word docs and retrieve them from 
more than one computer, would this kind of thing work for that?



Thanks.



Jim
