&gt; &gt;&gt; I am becoming a fast fan of journalling versioning file systems.  These
&gt; &gt;&gt; problems just disappear.
&gt; 
&gt; &gt;Can you please elaborate on that?
&gt; 
&gt; Journalling filesystems (loosely speaking) run the filesystem as a
&gt; journalling database.

OK, I see - I just jumped at the wrong sentence being under influence of
my RCS investigations :-))

&gt; RCS, CVS, SCCS and company are version control systems.  They have nothing
&gt; to do with filesystems per se -- they operate at the file or directory
&gt; level.  I use RCS -- I haven't looked into CVS (tho I suppose I should).
&gt; Comparitively RCS is a superset of SCCS, and is quite simple.

CVS announces itself as a wrapper for RCS, as it goes from the docs I
managed to read so far, you can keep the repository as a single entity
instead of multiple RCS files.

&gt; Note a versioning filesystem would essentially do RCS int he background
&gt; without your ever having to touch it.  cf ClearCase.

By the way, what does 'cf' stand for?

&gt; &gt;RCS is good enough, the only thing I haven't figured out yet is how to
&gt; &gt;allow multiple users to edit and compile the code with a minimum overhead
&gt; &gt;- the kind of people I'm dealing with is having difficulties setting
&gt; &gt;CLASSPATH...
&gt; 
&gt; Spec the problem out a little more and I may be able to help.

Just caught the chiken-pox from my daughter, so I have a week to
investigate without any interference :-)
