Title: Is there a version control system for Win 3.1/DOS?
Post by: Shintaro on January 19, 2022, 10:24:50 AM
Hi,

Does anyone use or know of a version control system for Win 3.x / DOS?

I was going to use Source Safe 4.0, but I can't seem to find it. I was thinking One Tree had a 3.1 client before MS bought them out.
RCS seems to have a DOS client, not sure if there is a Win 3.x client.

Thanks mate, I'm reading the docs now to try and get it going.
I wonder if it is possible to write a Win 3.1 version for GIT. Maybe a quick and dirty VB version?

Hi,

   There was "Source_Manager" by TransWareEnterprises, Inc..
That is a DOS program.  It was written to be compatible
with the Control Data Corporation's "Update" utility used on
its mainframe computers.

   I used Update to access FORTRAN programs when I was a
contractor.  Which is why I found out about the DOS program.
