David in his reply didn't stress enough that the NewEra interface from the appliaction builder is VERY, VERY slow if you have a significant number of files in PVCS and is also a bit limited in terms of the archive directories. The main reason for the NewEra interface being slow at our site is because NewEra refreshes every file when you are looking at the archives - which is not really necessary. I agree that PVCS seems to be quite a powerful product. +------------------------------------------------------------+ | Dalton Cranston dalton@dial.pipex.com | | DMC Software Limited (UK) Ph: +44 1993 840-944 | | GO5 Limited (UK) | +------------------------------------------------------------+ | ALL RIGHTS RESERVED | | This posting is copyright and may be used only for the | | purposes of professional study or the professional | | exchange of information.
