When working on larger projects with more than one developer, the
problem of diverting versions and file overwritng arises. When working
under HP-UX we frequently used a product named "SoftBench" which
provided us with version control and the mandatory file locking. Is such
a product available for IDL ? Or in general: Would you like to have it
inside IDL ?

So? Just reading the overview chapter of the CVS docs should be enough to convince folks
that CVS isn't the be-all and end-all - even the authors say so. While I like CVS a lot, I
encounter plenty of other version control systems (some home grown simple ones) day to
day.

That's a bit of a strident statement. I (personally) don't see the point in IDL/RSI
favouring one version control system over any other - and if they did, they would still
have to allow users to make a choice to use something else.

To within numerical precision at least, cuz, black holes leak don't they? :o)

Yes, but who needs the IDLDE? We make extensive use of CVS, and the VC
version control mode, along with the IDLWAVE IDL development environment
under Emacs make a powerful combination. There are even other
power-user CVS modes available, but VC does almost everything. My
favorite? "Hmm... I've really trashed this file. Wonder what I did?"
[C-x v =], and presto, a diff between on server and local versions.
Other favorite [C-x v g]: color-coded annotated line-by-line display of
last edit date and person. Who's this damn jds screwing with my code...
ohhh.

I had installed mercurial from http://mercurial.selenic.com/
this one stores all revisions below a .hg directory and you can work
with your working dir. While you also can look at changes.
