The functionality will depend on the file format though: 1. If the files are text files: No problems here, people can work in parallel on the same files even and CVS will help them consolidate their respective work. 2. If the files are binary: This is harder because CVS cannot do any consolidation (merging) of work done at the same time by several people. In this case you must set up your server to use "reserved edits", which means that only one developer at a time can edit the file. Of course all developers can have a working copy of all files, but they will be readonly for all but the editor. Noone else can start an edit session until the file has been committed from the one who has it in edit state. /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
