Hi Nick, Unfortunately Dropbox is blocked from my work location. I use it at home and love it.

Why not use something like Drop Box? You don't have to install anything on your computer, although you can and as long as stuff isn't in the public folder only you or people you want, can access the files. What it won't do is protect you against simultaneous modifications. Thanks. Nick. -----Original Message----- From: program-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:program-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Homme, James Sent: Monday, 22 October 2012 19:21 To: program-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [program-l] Re: Version Control, No Software To Install Hi Bill and All, Thanks for your answers. I think that what is going to end up happening is that I'll just zip up the stuff and mail it to myself when I change it. We have a lot of restrictions here. I was just probably hoping for something that wasn't feasible.

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 "text editor" 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.

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.
