Source Control For 2-3 Developers

[clintonG]

A group of several developers working remotely from one another needs source
control.
What do you use in this regard?

Hi,
You can go for a Visual Source Safe integrated development environment.
Once you have a VSS, you just add the solution to the source control, by
selecting
"File--> Source control" menu.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Dinesh

Thanks for your comments Dinesh. I'm told all too frequently that VSS was
developed in the pits of hell by Satan himself ;-)
Would you know if VSS is now being called Team System or is Team System an
entirely new initiative?

Sorry I did not exclude the mention of VSS in my post but I was expecting to
learn of some other choices that may be available to .NET developers but I
do appreciate your comments anyway.

Team system is entirely new. However, it looks like it's going to be
expensive. There are various other options available too, including CVS
and Subversion, both of which are free.

I wholeheartedly agree with your decision to avoid VSS...

I've been reading about Subversion in the June 2005 print edition of
Software Development Magazine [1] where Subversion 2004 was profiled for
having won a Jolt award.

Whoa horsey. Check out these resources [1] that just turned up while
searching for source control hosting providers.
