Originally collected by: [e-mail] (Anthony Earl)

The European Computer Manufacturer's Association (ECMA) adopted TR/55,
"Reference Model for Frameworks of Software Engineering Environments", 2nd
edition, in December of 1991.  In Europe, it's available for free from
    The European Computer Manufacturers Association

In the United States, it is for sale by the National Institute of Standards
and Technology as NIST Special Publication 500-201.  Contact:
    the Superintendent of Documents,
    US Government Printing Office,
    Washington DC 20402.
There is a PostScript  version of the  document in the PSESWG archives.  You
may be able to retrieve it using their  mail-server by sending email to
[e-mail] with the subject:
    get nist-sp500-201.ps
It is long (about half a Meg) so it may not make it through some mailers/nets.

[edsr!bigdaddy![e-mail] (Clifford D. Morrison) did a search with
Archie and points out that this file isn't available at sumex anymore;
possible locations follow.  A file with a .Z ending usually means you need to
retrieve it in binary/image mode and run it through UNIX 'uncompress':

Subject: What version control systems are available on UNIX
Date: 29 Mar 1993
Originally collected by: media01![e-mail] (Raymond van der Laan)
(see also the archive file "cmtools")

SCCS is free and comes with most Unix-distribution, ported to everything and
its brother.  It is no longer being enhanced or improved.  Clumsy and not
suited to many users working on the same project.  Many people place scripts
around the various SCCS commands to help the user.

RCS, better than SCCS, but still requires scripts to make life easier on the
developer.  Originally by Walter Tichy (now at Karlsruhe) and still maintained
by Purdue ([e-mail]); available on the GNU distribution, widely
ported, and free.  Available via anonymous FTP from several sources:
    site                filename
    ftp.cs.ruu.nl      /pub/GNU/rcs-5.6.tar.Z
    cs.purdue.edu       pub/RCS/rcs.5_6.tar.Z
    prep.ai.mit.edu     pub/gnu/rcs-5.6.tar.Z
    ftp.uu.net          packages/gnu/rcs-5.6.tar.Z
    ftp.virginia.edu    pub/vms/*.zoo  (VAX VMS version)
It works best with GNU diff 2.0; look for diff-2.0.tar.Z.  Many case tools
interface with RCS.

CVS extends RCS to control concurrent editing of sources by several users
working on releases built from a hierarchical set of directories.  "RCS is
assembly language, CVS is Pascal", according to the author.  Brian Berliner's
CVS 1.3 C version is in cvs-1.3.tar.Z at MIT and UUnet. Dick Grune's original
shell script version, CVS 3.0, is available at RUU.  Berliner
([e-mail]) and Jeff Polk ([e-mail]) continue to maintain CVS; the
1.3 release was in April 1992.

The shape toolkit (ShapeTools) is a set of commands for change control,
developed by Axel Mahler, Andreas Lampen and others at the Technical
University of Berlin.  It consists of a repository (the Attributed File
System), version control programs, a build driver (compatible with make),
release management system, and EMACS editor interface.  ShapeTools 1.3 was
released in late May 1992; it runs on many UNIX variants. It's available from
   site                  file
   coma.cs.tu-berlin.de  pub/shapeTools/shapeTools-1.3.tar.Z
   gatekeeper.dec.com    pub/plan/shapeTools-1.3.tar.Z
gatekeeper has a mail archive server;  send a message to
[e-mail] whose body contains the single line "help".

Aegis is a project change supervisor distributed under the GNU piblic licence.
CVS provides a repository; aegis provides a repository, a baseline, mandatory
reviews and mandatory testing.  It's available via anonymous ftp from:
  Host: ftp.nau.edu (134.114.64.70)
  Dir:  /pub/Aegis
  File: aegis.1.3.tar.Z         # the complete source
  File: aegis.1.3.patch.Z       # patch to take 1.2 to 1.3
  File: aegis.1.3.ps.Z          # PostScript of the User Guide

Many large and expensive case-tools exist which have version control in them.
(Teamwork, Backplane) All VCS we know about are file-based. Database-oriented
VCS's do not seem to exist.

Subject: Other configuration Management tools

DSEE (pronounced dizzy) [Domain Software Engineering Environment] by Apollo
(now HP) is an excellent program that has excellent version control and does
builds for the user.  These builds can be easily customized to a specific
purpose and spread out over several different machines simultaneously.
Excellent for large development projects.  Problem: Cannot be ported to other
machines.  Uses non-standard facilities of Domain/OS; David Lubkin of the DSEE
Project says it will be available on other operating systems, at least HP's
OSF offering.  I don't know their main phone number, but their help line could
get you in touch with somebody.  (1-800-227-6556)

ClearCase, by Atria software (see vendor list) runs on Silicon Graphics, HP,
and Sun systems.  It was influenced by DSEE.  For SGI machines, it's available
through regular SGI sales channels (US customers can call 1-800-800-SGI1).

Softool Corp. sells a "Family of change and configuration control products"
The literature looks good.  This program does code control, builds, merging
and other items that look good for group projects.  It has also been ported to
DEC, IBM, Sun HP, Harris, and IBM PC computers.  It's been around for a long
time, so it's a very mature product.
    Softool Corp.;  340 S. Kellogg Ave.;  Goleta, CA 93117

Imperial Software Technology Limited sells some CASE tools that do builds and
manage source code.  The literature is not that glossy, and the impression I
got was of a immature set of programs.  I also sent them a fax and email and
have yet to get a response.  (6+ months)

Aide-de-Camp is another good looking product from its literature.  Sounds very
mature and has many good feature mentioned above.  Rather than independent
versions of each file, it stores which groups of files change together: a nice
idea for tracking widespread changes.

Procase is an interesting database for code control.  It creates a database of
all of your code and will display call graphs and other very fancy functions.
It requires you to use its editor, rather than vi or emacs (though it does
have emulation modes for them) It has a very impressive user interface, just
not enough flexibility for me.

Digital Equipments Corp.'s VAXSET:
CMS: Code Management System; Code libraries and configuration control
MMS: Module Management System; Like MAKE integrated to CMS
LSE: Language Sensitive Editor - Provided programming support as part
     of the editors functioning for all supported VMS languages
SCA: Source Code Analyzer - Provide variable information, call trees,
     etc.  Integrated into LSE and CMS.
DTM: DEC Test Manager; Automated scripting tool for performing
     tests of software, creating benchmarks and helping with
     regression testing
PCA: Performance and Coverage Analyzer - Allows for program analysis.
     Validates path coverage of testing.
All these product are operational on VAX VMS platforms. Additionally there is
the interactive debugger, the Common Data Dictionary (repository), DEC Design,
DEC Plan, and other tools.

CaseWare/CM (formerly Amplify Control) from CaseWare, Inc. is an interactive
development environment emphasizing configuration management and tool
integration.  It provides user-modifiable graphical and non-graphical user
interfaces.  The graphical interfaces supports Motif.  It also supports
several configuration management methodologies via its flexible object-
oriented data modeling.  They supply a generic software process model, which
you can customize.  The related CaseWare/PT problem tracking system is driven
from the same configration management database.  (see vendor list for
address).

CMZ is a code manager for C and Fortran;  besides version archiving, it also
provides many editing, checking, and library management functions.  It
currently runs on Apollo, IBM VM/CMS, IBM MVS, IBM RS/6000, VAX/VMS, Ultrix,
Gould UTX, Cray Unicos, Sun, SGI, HPUX.   All European High Energy Physics
laboratories will get it from CERN;  others must pay a licence fee.   Contact
[e-mail].

SMS from Intasoft [see vendor list] runs on PCs, Unix and VAXen.  Facilities
include source code control, a preprocessor, a build tool and a menu driven
front end.  I find it very usable, it is reasonably priced and it has all the
facilities I need.  [e-mail] (Neil Youngman)

"Merge Ahead" is not a full fledged Version or Configuration mangement tool,
but it addresses one of the most important parts of such systems, support for
management and integration of multiple versions and releases.  While Merge
Ahead does not provide check-in and check-out it is designed to work closely
with other tools that do: integrations for RCS and SCCS are contributed, and
integrations to CASEWare/CM and Atherton Technology Software BackPlane re
supported by those vendors. Integrations to other CM tools (Atria ClearCase,
TeamOne TeamNet, etc.) and even custom and internal tools are easy--even if
files are versioned only by different names or extensions. Merge Ahead is
available from: Prescient Software, Inc. (see vendor list)

RAZOR from Tower Concepts, Inc (see vendor list) is an easily tailored
configuration management system with an integrated problem tracking system.
It offers control and coordination of file versioning and product build
management.  The graphical interface is built on OpenLook.  Its easily parsed
ASCII database encourages users to generate their own scripts for report
generation and process control.  Contact [e-mail] for a detailed
description, or [e-mail] for a postscript copy of their manual.

Teamwork (Cadre Technologies: see vendor list)
It runs on SUN, ULTRIX, VMS, HP, APOLLO, OS2, etc, with X window support
on most of the platforms with more to come soon (including some low-cost
PC X emulators. [from cadreri![e-mail] (Scott A. Trachtenberg)]

We have been using for the past few years the following two tools:
(Schemacode International Inc; see vendor list)
SCHEMACODE: automatically translates schematic pseudocode design into
  source code.   Works for most programming language except ADA.
  Available on PC, soon on UNIX. Educational licence 250$ + 50$ per PC.
  IEEE Computer had a good report on this tool. Sometime last fall.
DATRIX: a tool for software quality assessment on PC and UNIX machines.
  Works for C, FORTRAN and PASCAL.  Measures up to 40 metrics and provides
  a unique representation of the control flow, which is useful for testing,
  program understanding, and program evaluation.  Expensive; educational
  licence for 500$, including up to 10 workstations.
We have been using these tools for the past three years in 4th year
undergrad and grad soft.eng. courses Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal.
    [from [e-mail] (P. N. Robillard)]
ToolBuilder (formerly TBK) from IPSYS (see vendor list) It provides meta-tools
  (design editors, structure editors) a single underlying ERA database
  (supporting fine structure) and a uniform UI based on Motif. Tools exist for
  HOOD (design for Ada). Might have educational discounts.
STONE (FZI, see vendor list and archives file "environments") - An SEE for
  research and education. An OODBS called OBST is used as the core of the
  environment.  OBST is available via anonymous ftp from gate.fzi.de
  [141.21.4.3]. OBST provides currently an interface to C++.  A call
  interfaces to C is also available, as well as an embedding of OBST into the
  interactive tool command language TCL.  [from Bernhard Schiefer
