This exact capability is provided by CVS, a system for version control
that is available for Unix, PC, and Mac. The basic idea is that you set
up a master repository for your source code (on a Unix box), and you can
then check out a copy of the code on another platform (Unix/PC/Mac).
When you are done making changes, there is only one command required to
update your changes back into the master repository. We've been using
CVS for version control of IDL, FORTRAN, and C sources for a while now,
and we are very fond of it.

A modest collection of CVS information, including a condensed 2 page
'cheat-sheet', is available at http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/~gumley

Cheers,
Liam.
