Introduction

This paper describes how to integrate INTERSOLV's PVCS Version Manager with SNiFF+. PVCS Version Manager is a version control system for Windows, Unix, and OS/2. The PVCS adapter provided with this package can be used for both Unix and Windows platforms. It ensures a complete mapping of SNiFF+'s version control interface to PVCS Version Manager, and it is also the missing link between the cross-platform abilities of SNiFF+ as well as PVCS. Hence, it would be possible, for instance, to create a repository on platform A, check out a file on platform B, switch back to platform A, and check the file in there. On both platforms, you would issue the corresponding commands from SNiFF+, with PVCS as the underlying version control tool.

The PVCS Adapter is included in the SNiFF+ 3.x installation.
