Organize projects: PVCS Version Manager automates project organization and work flow to make team development faster, easier, and more accurate. It scales across any size team, and supports more than 70 platforms and development environments. Software assets are reliably protected through multiple revisions, including complex parallel and concurrent development projects. A graphical user interface for Windows provides easy, intuitive access to the world's most powerful version management solution. Simplify concurrent and parallel development: PVCS Version Manager organizes and refers to components graphically with a flexible, project-oriented approach. I-Net Client is simple and easy to use and supports developers in many locations and working on many platforms. Visual differencing lets you graphically view file differences in side-by-side comparisons. Branch and merge as needed, with automatic alerts of any conflicts. Visual n-way merge supports multiple file merge to simplify parallel development. A workspace feature enables developers to work more productively on multiple branches of development. PVCS automates development processes with event triggers A state-of-the-art graphical user interface supports multiple databases and unlimited subprojects. Simple dialog boxes and online assistants simplify project creation, configuration, and security. Filter Facility provides customized views of project and file content windows. A customizable help system based in HTML aids developers during SCM deployment. HTML reporting, with easy-to-use templates, provides useful project facts with a professional look and feel. Distributed development teams are supported with integration and interfaces for more than 70 leading IDEs, including Microsoft, C++, Microsoft Visual Basic, and Sybase PowerBuilder, plus Web platforms including Microsoft FrontPage, Symantec Visual Café, and Microsoft Visual InterDev. PVCS includes a developer's toolkit and APIs to integrate PVCS with custom development workbenches, applications, and tools. PVCS supports interoperation between existing projects in Version Manager 5.3 or 6.0 and new projects--no migration is required.
