QVCS

QVCS, a version control system for Windows developers, is an excellent and affordable option. This software boasts features that are typically found in more expensive products, making it ideal for small development teams. It is designed to be easy to use and optimize admin processes.

One of the attractive features of QVCS is the ability to view, in real-time, how files have changed since they were checked out, who made changes, etc. Since directory recursion is possible, users are able to apply these features to single directories or an entire project. Simple operations like check in or check out require nothing more than a single click.

QVCS supports both text and binary files and new users will appreciate the extensive on-line help and two tutorials designed to aid the newcomer to the product. The user interface to QVCS, known as QWin, displays a file's revision history and enables users to sort that history by various criteria such as file status, date of check-in, filename, locker, and others.

Within QWin, it is possible to filter revision history to only show revisions that meet certain criteria and produce reports based on that history. The software also provides the ability to sort and filter the files displayed, limiting them based on file extension, label, most recent revision date, and other similar measures.

Since QWin supports both file-level and project-level operations, the user has greater control over the project. Selecting a single file or a particular file group allows the software to perform operations more easily. For engineers who use Delphi and Visual Basic regularly, this feature will be especially useful.
