Re: Question about version control.. sorta..

So, for my purposes.. after trying a handful of solutions.. open source and 
commercial..  I think I've decided that Reliable Software's "Code Co-op" 
is what's going to work best for me.

My trial is almost up, so as soon as my next paycheck comes, I think I'll 
be purchasing the full version for $150.

For me, it's totally worth it.   It stores everything in a local database, 
but allows collaboration if that's what you're into.  Via email for the 
$150 version, via LAN for the $200 version.

It lets me add files by type, is easy to check out files.  Anyway.. if 
anyone's looking for an easy Windows version control system, check it out.

(no, I don't work for them, just passing along the recommendation since I'm 
digging this software)

Thanks for all the input!
