Yes, I'd be interested in seeing the program. Thanks.

I'm quite fond of CVS (Concurrent Versions System).
Brief description: http://www.cyclic.com/cyclic-pages/overview.html
Short tutorial: http://www.cyclic.com/cvs/doc-blandy.html
User's Guide: http://www.cyclic.com/cvs/doc-cederqvist.html
Where to get it: http://www.cyclic.com/cyclic-pages/howget.html
The only advice I'd offer is to minimize the number of RCS keywords (CVS
is a front end to RCS) you use in your IDL source files. CVS maintains
all revision control information separate from the file itself. I
typically only use the $Id$ keyword. In addition, if you'd like to track
versions of your IDL source in SAVE'd files, just put the $Id$ keyword
in a string, e.g.
rcs_id = "$Id$"
and then when you .COMPILE the routine and SAVE it to a file, the
version information is embedded. You can then use the RCS ident command
to find the keyword information inside the SAVE'd file.
Cheers,
Liam.

I've used IDL in RCS, SCCS and PVCS environments. I have a small program
that generates a file with the appropriate keywords and tags for each of
the above. Here's an SCCS example. Let me know if you are interested in
the program and I'll set it up on my FTP site.
