We just use what ever we use for the project, this project uses vss. As long as the source control handles binary files you're fine.

You can't typically diff the versions (at least not using the tools I know off), but it's easy enough to pull out two versions and use some local tool to do that.

I typically keep numbered local copies while I'm making changes until I'm ready to checkin to the "real" source control. Received on Thu May 15 2008 - 00:31:41 CEST
