Just to add to the others singing the praises of CVS, it's great - even
if you're not working in a team environment. Versioning and forcing
myself to comment versions on a spiralling-out-of-control code base has
helped me immensely.
JD said a while ago that IDLWAVE can use the emacs CVS functions, but I
tend to use eclipse - which looks exactly the same on my unix, linux and
windows boxes. For a processor farm there is the script-friendly unix
command line version.
